Release

The release of "Time Makes a Wine" was accompanied by a partially animated music video which received airplay on MTV in Australia, though the song did not chart outside of New Zealand. Irene Cara wanted to record a reworked version of the track but these plans did not come to fruition; it was later reworked by Ardijah themselves and included with the release of the group's third album, Time (1999).
