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?? Cheers, Remo Rosati DIVINE INTERVENTION http://www.geocities.com/newnovelan Available at over 50,000 bookstores & online |

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...

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. :-) -- Regards, Rex Franklin "R R" wrote in message .. . I don't know why it is but Zinfandel is always associated as a woman's wine.

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.

Salut/Hi Bill Spohn,
le/on 25 Oct 2003 14:54:04 GMT, tu disais/you said:- 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. Exactly. People have sex! -- All the Best Ian Hoare Sometimes oi just sits and thinks Sometimes oi just sits. |
