The culture of growing grapevine and singing about it is an important part of the traditional and the contemporary culture of Slavic and other groups of peoples. The subject of our article will be a review and analysis of making grape products such as wine, brandy and juice among members of the South Slavic peoples (Serbs, Bosniaks and Croats) in the Republic of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition, traditional songs related to the grapevine among these peoples in different regions of Bosnia and Herzegovina will be contextualized, as a contribution to the subject of study. The basic method by which the material was collected, along with fieldwork and archive search, was a semi-structured interview conducted with certain Serbs in the Upper Srem (Serbia), Bosniaks in central Herzegovina, and Croats in western Herzegovina (Bosnia and Herzegovina). The criterion for choosing the interlocutors was their amateur or professional cultivation of grapevine, i.e. their possession of a certain knowledge about this practice, as well as about certain customs and rituals associated with it. This ethnological and anthropological perspective on the one hand, and the ethnomusicological perspective on the other, shows how the cooperation between the two disciplines contributes to a broader understanding of both traditional and contemporary culture among the part of South Slavic peoples, which is important for the contemporary Serbian, Slav, and Balkan folkloristics.

Култура узгоја винове лозе и певања о њој представља важан део традиционалне и савремене културе словенских и других група народа. Предмет нашег чланка биће приказ и анализа справљања производа од грожђа као што су вино, ракија и сок код припадника дела јужнословенских народа – Срба, Бошњака и Хрвата – у Републици Србији и Босни и Херцеговини. Поред тога, биће контекстуализоване традиционалне песме које се везују за винову лозу код наведених народа у различитим регијама Босне и Херцеговине, као прилог предмету проучавања. Основни метод помоћу кога је грађа прикупљена, уз теренски рад и претрагу релевантне литературе, јесте интервју полуструктурираног типа спроведен са појединим припадницима српског народа у горњем Срему, бошњачког народа у централној Херцеговини и хрватског народа у западној Херцеговини. Критеријум за одабир саговорника био је аматерско или професионално бављење узгојем винове лозе, тј. поседовање одређених знања о овој пракси и појединим обичајима и обредима који се уз њу везују. Овај етнолошки и антрополошки поглед с једне и етномузиколошки поглед с друге стране показује на који начин сарадња између две дисциплине доприноси ширем разумевању како традиционалне тако и савремене културе код дела јужнословенских народа.
