Wine was born in Washington Heights, New York City, United States.[3] In 1963, Wine had a nationally charted single with "My Boyfriend's Coming Home For Christmas". It reached #22 on Billboard's "Best Bets For Christmas" survey. She co-wrote The Shirelles' early 1964 mid-chart hit "Tonight You're Gonna Fall in Love With Me".
Wine attended the Juilliard School of Music, where she studied piano. She worked as a songwriter for Screen Gems Publishing, where she collaborated with several other artists and then teamed with Carole Bayer Sager. They wrote the song "A Groovy Kind of Love," recorded by The Mindbenders in 1966 (after the group split with Wayne Fontana) and reached the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. "A Groovy Kind of Love" was also a 1988 hit for Phil Collins.
After moving to Memphis, Tennessee with her husband, record producer Chips Moman, Wine continued to write and record songs and work as a session singer.[4] For over 30 years, she was one of the voices of Meow Mix Cat Food, sharing with Linda November on the "meow, meow, meow, meow."
In 2007, Wine toured and appeared in concert with Tony Orlando as vocalist and keyboardist.[5] She performed the same function in Orlando's 2011, 2014 and 2016 tours, and continues on Orlando's 2022 tour.
