La chanson évoque la relation d'un fils avec sa mère, centrée autour de son goût pour le vin blanc. Elle se rappelle ses soirées où, après une longue journée, elle se détendait avec un verre ou deux, maintenant un équilibre délicat dans leur relation. Les moments partagés sur la terrasse sont teintés de tendresse, notamment lorsqu'ils discutent de souvenirs d'enfance, mais aussi de l'absence du père, ce qui amène une certaine tension. La chanson aborde aussi les limites que chaque personne peut se fixer face à l'alcool, tout en reconnaissant la nostalgie et la simplicité des instants passés ensemble. C'est un mélange d'affection et de complexité, reflet d'une vie pleine de nuances.
