Alexander Valley Vineyards came up with a great name
years ago that helped sell their wine, Sin Zin. It seems
to me that no where in the wine industry is this type of
marketing more prevalent than in the Zinfandel market.
Armida Vineyards named one of theirs Pozin. And then
of course most of us Zin drinkers have have many bottles
of The Cardinal Zin. Today I encountered another from
Michael David Vineyard called 7 Deadly Zins. And Alexander
Valley Vineyards has another one named Redemption Zin.
Are there any more of these great names out there that I
have not found?

If we make one up, and someone uses it, can we get royalties? Or a couple
of cases?

I can think of a French example of a very interesting name. De Sade
Champagne apparently was made by a relative of the de Sade that gave the
name to sadism. Several years ago they sold their wine with a label with
whips and such on it to take advantage of the infamous name. I believe
this label was banned in the US.

Hello All, Again. I dont get around the computer to much anymore due to
work, and family, and building a house with... guess what... A wine cellar!
It will be very modest (6'5" D X 5'1" W X 8' H) and I still am trying to
decide between WhisperKool 3000 and Breezeaire WKE-3000. The unit will
exhaust into the garage (insulated with some ducted a/c, so I am interested
in opinions). I live in Northeast Texas, and it have finally broken the 100
degree mark (after a month of rain that held up the pouring of the slab.)

But, back to the subject, Alison and I were on a 7 day cruise for our 2nd
year anniversary, and found a few paintings that were wine inspired. So we
bought one, titled Seven Deadly Zins. Here is a picture
http://www.artcentergallery.com/gall...deadlyzins.jpg
There are better pictures on www.michaelgodard.net and more wine/drinking
related art.

Well, on a trip back from Austin, Texas we stopped at Fat Dog's Liquors and
found a bottle of Seven Deadly Zins. We bought a case of the 2001, but have
not had any yet..

There is also a painting (and a wine) with the name Seven Heavenly Chards.

You got the best painting of the group and the best wine. The Zin is
very good but the Chardonnay is hardly worth the tasting effort.

We are waiting to open the wine when the painting gets here. We have a
perfect place for the painting, just no walls yet.

Item 5 on the above page explains why the original label on de Sade
Champagne was banned in the US. This Champagne now has a much less
suggestive label that can easily be found on Google, but I did not find
the original label. It shows a very young nude girl being whipped. Other
information I found indicates that the de Sade family has owned property
in Champage. However the de Sade Champagne is now made by a firm that
does not include members of the de Sade family. However the firm
obtained approval of the de Sade family for selling Champagne under that
label.

It is no surprise that the ATF would ban this wine. I think all the members
of their organization that review wine labels are past movie censors. Several
California wineries have had major go arounds with them over female bodies.
I believe the also rejected one of the Mouton art labels and Mouton produced
a US only label. And then there is Randall Grahm of Bonny Doon who is always
testing the limits of what he can get them to accept on a label.
( I urge anyone not familiar with Grahm to visit the Bonny Doon web site
and enjoy his craziness )
