Der Wein, der Grinzinger Wein! is a song by Edmund Eysler with lyrics by Fritz Lunzer and Emil von Meissner, rooted in the convivial and melodically direct tradition of Viennese operetta.

This arrangement for Gschaftlhuaba Schrammeln preserves the vocal focus of the tenor line while shaping the accompaniment within a transparent string and accordion setting. Subtle humour informs the arrangement: brief and playfully embedded references to well-known Viennese repertoire — including the DonauwalzerDie FledermausFrühlingsstimmen-Walzer and the Radetzky-Marsch — appear as fleeting gestures within the otherwise traditional framework.

These quotations function as affectionate nods rather than overt parody, enriching the texture without disturbing the flow of the song.
