"Little Old Wine Drinker Me" is a song that was first released by Charlie Walker in 1966, on the album Wine, Woman & Walker. The song became a hit when it was released by Robert Mitchum in early 1967, and by Dean Martin later the same year on his album Welcome to My World.

Robert Mitchum's version spent 2 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 96, while reaching No. 9 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart.

Dean Martin's version spent 6 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 38, while reaching No. 5 on Billboard's Easy Listening chart, and No. 4 on Australia's Go-Set chart.

In Canada, Dean Martin's version and Robert Mitchum's version reached No. 32 on the RPM 100, in a tandem ranking.

The song's title parodies a catchphrase used in contemporary TV advertising by the Italian Swiss Colony wine company: "The little old winemaker, me!"
