ub40's version features a lighter, reggae-style flavor compared to diamond's somber, acoustic ballad. the ub40 version adds a toasted verse by astro, opening: "red red wine, you make me feel so fine/you keep me rocking all of the time", which was edited from the single that reached number one on the uk singles chart in august 1983 and number 34 in the united states in march 1984 but not from the version that reached number one on the "billboard" hot 100 a few months after being performed at the nelson mandela 70th birthday concert in 1988. in september 2014, the official charts company announced that sales in the uk had reached one million.
