Default Cooking with White Zinfandel?

The term "blush" is often applied to inexpensive pool wines.
Wines made by mixing whatever ya' got.

Real Zinfandel is a dark red wine with a high alcohol content. I've
seen Zins as high as 17% abv. It's a heavy red, like an Italian
Classico Chianti (which some believe is the true ancestor of zin).

White Zin is a mixture of pool wines, both red and white, so comes out
pink. It's usually bunk, so pays yer money (or not!) and takes yer
chances and enjoy a "created" (or "girls") wine.
