There acctually are quite a few wines that use coffee grounds as part of the flavour mixture for thier wines but it is never the most prevelant flavour.
Mark Ryan 2004 "Wild Eyed" Syrah; $35 . Red Mountain fruit (from Ciel, Hedges and Kiona) creates this delicious syrah, laced with powerful flavors of coffee liqueur and chocolate. Satiny and citrusy, it maintains an elegant precision for a wine that offers such richness.
Mark Ryan 2004 "Long Haul" Red; $39. Also from Ciel du Cheval, this Pomerol-styled red was tasted a few weeks ahead of its planned November release. The black cherry fruit, with a dark mineral and graphite undercurrent, rides on a river of acid into the silky finish of coffee and buttery chocolate. Beautifully structured and — there's no better word for it — hedonistic.
Gorman Winery 2004 "The Pixie" Syrah; $30. From Red Mountain fruit, this tannic, earthy syrah blends its tart black cherry and raspberry fruit with a wash of ash, graphite and coffee grounds. Young as it is, you can already sniff out the roasted meats and herbs to come. Just 130 cases were made.

It's possible that some lower end company like Franzia or Arbor Mist will create a coffee flavoured wine, but I don't know how likely it would be.
There are plenty of wines that have notes of coffee in them, especially ports and some Amontillados, but I have never heard of a wine with coffee flavouring added. Sounds gross, but then again, so does coffee flavoured Coke. : P

Many wines do have coffee flavours in their profile but coffee is not used to produce them. Wine in made from grapes,
fruit wines (yuck) are made from the named fruit, flavoured wines ( double yuck) are inferior wines with added juices and sugar.
The flavours and aromas of varietal wines ( Merlot, Shiraz, Pinot Blanc, Viognier) come from the grapes, the casks, the yeast and other vinting processes. Considering that diesel fumes are expected in a fine Riesling, Cat pee aromas acceptable in a well made Sauvignon Blanc it's good to know that the wine maker doesn't actually add these ingredients to the mix.

Coffee is marvelous. Wine is wonderful.
Combining them sounds dreadful!

a very interesting question, since coffee is a stimulant and wine is a depresant , i wonder if they would cancel each other out. well anyway why don't you research it and experiment with it and you might get rich, and then you can send me a free case, ha-haaaaa!
