Wine and Swans

Ok a challenge today. Mainly as I was in a hurry to finish my prepostings while away. So you have to do some homework. What is the connection between wine and swans? I'll tell you when I get back to London. Hint, this picture is taken in the Vintners Hall.

  7. You can take a wine tasting cruise down the Swan River here in Perth, but I am guessing that is not it!
    There is a song also about wine and swans?????
