(December 10, 2025) – Welcome to the 31st edition of Music Jeopardy! As always, the blog provides the clues… and you provide the responses. Each clue has point values — no dollars! The player(s) with the most points gets bragging rights.
This round’s category — “The Most Wine-derful Time of the Year” — is about songs with wine in them. Your task: name the songs based on the clues — and note the wine is not always included in the title.
This should be another easy category, so hopefully everyone is in the festive spirit and will merrily play along. Think you can figure guess these? There’s only one way to find out: pop the cork and read on!
Post your guesses in the “Your Thoughts” box below (they’ll be withheld from view until the contest closes), DM me on social media, or email me. Please don’t be that person who spills the wine publicly on social media and spoils it for everyone.
All correct entries will be recognized in the next Music Jeopardy! post. The prize, as always: eternal bragging rights.
Below are this week’s five clues plus three bonuses. Answers to MJ30 (“Between Elphaba and Glinda”) are at the end, along with last week’s winners. This week’s contest closes at 11:59 pm on Monday, Dec. 15.

Clue 4 (400 pts):
Clue 5 (500 pts):
