In just a few lines, the speaker describes a restless, appetite-driven life. The poem opens with a striking image: "Married to a glass / of wine." Marriage usually suggests home and stability, yet here it is tied to drink, and that sets up a tension. The speaker says they "hunt trouble," which sounds like someone who goes looking for adventure, or perhaps for danger, rather than waiting for it to arrive.
The title, "Wine-dark," points to the sea. The phrase is familiar from ancient Greek epic, and the poem seems to blur wine and ocean into one image. The speaker "set[s] a hand to the sea / and the ship," a physical, hands-on gesture. The last line makes the surprising claim that these things "make / my heart home." Home isn't a place on land but the pull of drink, water and travel.
The mood is wry, loose and quietly content. There's recklessness in it, but also a sense of belonging, as if the wanderer has found a home that moves.
