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

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%.

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.

While I was at the Mondavi Estates, I was told that any wine is GOOD, as
long as YOU like it

So dont' be a snob and follow the trend, Drink whatever you like.

Zinfandel grapes are RED

Most Zinfandel is made as a sweet, low alcohol blush wine known as white
Zinfandel (the pink color is achieved by removing the skins from the grapes
before being vinified). Red Zinfandel, some call "real" Zinfandel (like us
at A Food Experience.net), is produced in a wide variety of styles
influenced by the choices made by the grape grower, wine maker and the vines
themselves. A claret style Zinfandel will be a lighter, fruit-forward wine
with crisp acidity, berry and cherry flavors, firm tannins and a bit of oak
flavor. More recent vintages have produced increasing numbers of
late-harvest Zinfandels that can be dry or sweet, but usually high in
alcohol, some as high as 17%. These late harvest Zins have big, bold ripe
fruit flavors of plum, raisins, cloves, licorice, and in some cases are
almost port-like.

I dont see the logic either, because its not logical.

This is what you call stereotyping.
