I don't know why it is but Zinfandel is always associated as a woman's
wine.
I love the taste and don't see the logic behind this. How can one classify
an
alcoholic beverage as male or female??

I suspect they're referring to _white_ Zinfandel, which is barely even
considered a wine by some (mostly men). ;^D

On the positive side, Lord St. H., since he never seems to respond to
anything posted in those threads, and since (thankfully) his spamsig is
rarely if ever quoted, no real harm is done by responding aside from wasting
bandwidth on silly topics...

p.s. For a real chuckle, read the "reviews" of his book on Amazon's
website. You are not alone, Andrew... ;-)

RR I suppose it is the "white Zin" that is called a woman's drink. Again I
suppose it is because it is usually(Always) rather sweet. :-)

Rex -- this guy floods the newsgroup often with bogus posts like this
with links to his lousy book web page. It is spam. Please, if you must
reply to these people, at least remove their spam links so as not to
perpetuate it.

No certain drink is male or female.
Drinks might be/are classified as male or female by the fact that it is
mainly bought by one sex. In certain sections a margarita is considered a
female drink.
Drink what you want too. Never allow dim witted dolts to tell you a drink is
for any sex only. Just keep in mind that some males are so into that macho
bullshit that they have to classify their drink as male and all others as
female. It makes them feel more "manly".
I tell all my customers to buy and drink what they like. I tell them to
drink it any way they like. If you like Scotch with coke, to hell with what
anyone thinks.
Drink what you like but drink responsibly.

I hate to admit this, but one of my most popular wines was modeled
after white zin.

I knuckled under and bought some Regina White Zin juice a few years
ago. It was way too dark and kind of dead, not very inspiring. So...
I added 5 gallons of Chenin. Then 5 more. Now the color was good but
it was even more mediocre after a few weeks of sitting around; it just
lost something. (The stuff would just not stay put, it looked and
tasted good in trials, but kept changing for the worse.) At that
point I added 3 gallons of Seyval and the fruit just came right to the
front. (I even liked it.) I better have, I had 18 gallons of the
stuff. I bet I played around with blends for 2 months; it's pretty
hard for me to give up on a wine. One way or another, I'll fix it or
find a use for it.

I thought I would have way too much hanging around, but all of it is
gone. I ended up making it dry and 3 versions of semi sweet up to 4%
RS since I had so much. I prefered the dry, but most liked the sugar
at around 2%.
Regards,
Joe

Oh you sexist old thing you.

Wine is wine is wine and some of us girlies drink the red stuff too. Some of
us also think "white" Zin isn't fit for pigs.

My advice is if the gender of wine worries you, just have a beer instead.

Wine has no gender. Nouns have gender.

In fact people have no gender either - the term has been stolen and has no
proper application in that context.
