Seven green bottles standing on the wall

Seven green bottles standing on the wall
We drank wine from each of ‘em all
If another drink followed withal
There is no doubt we’d absolutely fall

Seven green bottles standing on the wall
Just a little sip had started it all
Then countless laughs and stories tall
And several moments to totally enthrall

The first green bottle stood on the wall
And camaraderie took over the hall
Guards and defenses were let to fall
The friendship element now firmly installed

Seven green bottles standing on the wall
Soon talk started to turn into a drawl
Writing looked more like a scrawl
And eyelids just couldn’t stay open after all

Seven green bottles standing on the wall
Hugs all around and bid adieu to all
And then followed an odd footfall
It’s now six green bottles standing on the wall

So reminded of Jim Morrison.
"Oh show me, the way, to the next whiskey bar. Oh, don't ask why?"

besides the obvious 10 bottles sitting on the wall.

BTW which wine is that?
