The Wrath of Grapes?

I've been trying to recall on what comedy show I saw The Wrath of Grapes. It wasn't even a parody beyond the title.

I thought maybe SCTV and just a few minutes ago it might actually be the music act Type O Negative with one of the skits they did on their Symphony for the Devil DVD. But it turns out that one was called The Grapes of Ass.

I've been thinking for the longest time in the back of my mind that it has to be The Red Green Show that did The Wrath of Grapes so a while ago I went back and watched a bunch of episodes I last watched. No luck.

I really suspect it was on one of those 2 stand-alone compilation DVDs of the show that has clips that were cut from episodes and stuff like that.
But I don't have those clip show DVDs any more.

Does any one know of a Red Green clip called The Wrath of Grapes?

I seem to recall the video of it being the words The Wrath of Grapes super-imposed on the screen with big audience laughter, as you see a back view of Reds' van driving down the road.

There is an episode of the Red Green show called the Wrath of Grapes. It involves the guys making wine from the grapes that just happen to grow over their fence line from the guy next door. And if you happen to pull on the vines, well, what do you know, you can get enough grapes to make wine. I can't exactly remember how it ends, but Harold's there, trying to get them to make the wine by the book (literally) and they don't airate the casks during the fermenting process, producing explosive results.
Hope this helps jog your memory.

Oh yeah, I saw that episode recently. At least part of it.

As it turns out it was a clip they showed on the DVD Red Green: Hindsight Is 20/20, the mock retrospective documentary, where they were interviewing Winston Rothschild III of Rothschild's Sewage and Septic Sucking Services. Its in the last part of it where they play music like its a romance or tragic drama movie commercial or some thing and in the end, in black and white, they show him in his truck pulling on to the road with the text on screen, "The Wrath of Grapes".

Red and Harold invite Dalton over to taste the wine. It comes out as a blue liquid and it's served in a dirty glass. Dalton took a sip and...
Spat it out in the sink. The winemaking endeavour is a bust. However, the wine cleaned the dirty glass and also Harold's glasses so they switch gears and try to sell the wine as window cleaner.
