An individualist who used the cliches of the past to force his way into the future, Wine debuted in 1993, at the notorious TamTam club in St. Petersburg. Wine's aura is distinctively English. Winer sticks to melancholy, shoe-gazing pop which has always been more of a British phenomenon. Kinks were the first and, probably, the greatest Winer's influence. And His Nasal Majesty Ray Davies still remains some kind of a Godfather for Winer. Poetically Alex Winer continues traditions of so-called "Miserable Rock"
