Do you know Zinfandel is often portrayed as the American character in the form of wine? I quite like that analogy.
Also, I like it too. Not with food, but it's good. More hefty than most wine.

White Zinfandel, often abbreviated to White Zin, is an off–dry to sweet rosé wine that is pink in color. White Zinfandel is made from the Zinfandel wine grape, which would otherwise produce a bold and spicy red wine. As such, it is not a grape variety but a method of processing Zinfandel grapes used in California.
Historically an inexpensive jug wine, White Zinfandel is a quaffing wine that is sweet, low in alcohol, and soft, making it a popular choice with those who would not otherwise drink wine. This frequently makes zinfandel a target of ridicule among many wine connosieurs. Depending on the amount of sugar it contains, White Zinfandel can taste almost like a fruit punch, although some examples have crisp acids and are balanced in their own way. It is rare when a White Zinfandel is not manufactured with the intention of immediate consumption. As of February 2006, White Zinfandel accounted for 10% of all wine sold by volume, making it the third most popular varietal in the United States.

Yeah isn't it great?!
Although the good stuff is all exported so to get it here costs quite a bit, but I dont drink too much wine anyway, so when I do I try to get really nice stuff from the rolling green hills of Coonawarra.

Usually from a box too...I remember in high school when my girlfriend drank a box of it, then a whole bag of cheeto's.. To this day the most horrific episode of projectile vomiting I have ever witnessed.

I'm getting really sick of wine. The drunk sucks and I have to drink two bottles these days to achieve that shitty drunk.

Zinfandel is probably one of my least favorite wines red or white...
I'm a Pinot Noir/ merlot/ cabarnet/ Chianti/ Bordeaux freak.
Will: what kind was it?

tastes good.
i like red wine mostly, the only white wine i like is the riesling.
But I believe in the supremacy of martinis and tzuica (romaian hard drink).
