New Wine is a network of Christian churches headquartered in London. Albums released under the New Wine name feature performances by various artists and worship leaders; their songs pair lyrics devoted to themes of Christian worship with a variety of genres, including pop, rock, and funk. New Wine was founded in 1989 by the Right Reverend David Pytches. That same year, New Wine held the first of its summer conferences. Recordings of songs performed at these conferences made up the initial New Wine albums. New Wine's 2016 release, Hunger for the Living God: New Wine Live reached number seven on Billboard's Top Christian Albums chart. ~ Benjamin Schulz
