Replacing the Ice Cream Man (Wine truck anyone?)

When you were a kid, how could you resist that seductive, siren call of the Ice Cream Man? Slowly driving his sketchy, old van, with the box sticker ice cream pictures sprawled out on the side. Playing that annoying music that was singularly recognized from at least a block away, and could quickly disperse any game of Cowboys & Indians, launching kids into a rabid frenzy, like a kicked hornet's nest. All to get that ice cream.

What about us grown-up kids? Don't we need something to get excited about again? What if you were out sitting on the bleachers, watching your son's little league baseball game in the hot, afternoon sun, and the Wine Truck Man pulled up? Or, you're out mowing the lawn and you could sure use a cold, crisp drink, but nothing is in the fridge.
Wine Truck Man! Wine Truck Man! or maybe call it, The Wino Van! Yeah, I like the sound of that. Wino Van!

Why not? Food trucks are all the rage right now. Don't we need something to drink too?
It would need some recognizable music, to really distinguish it from anything else.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Of course, there would be more offerings than just wine. Maybe a tropical pina colada or dacquiri, margaritas, mojito's, sangria, maybe a couple different beer offerings.
Now, I'm not sure if anything like this is actually legal, but wouldn't it be great? A bar that travels to you.
I'm getting thirsty just thinking about it.
