Why is it called white, when it looks like a Rose
- Probably because the grape skins are removed from the wine early on in the manufacturing process. Usually, the red colour of red wines comes from the skins. I assume the Zinfandel grape without a skin still contains enough colour to cause a slight redness.
[edit] Photo?
Does any one have a nice photo of White Zin (maybe in a glass)? I think that it could help make the page a little more interesting. The Bethling 17:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Importance
White Zin is not as important in the wine world as the vast volume of its consumtion suggests. Thus I am moving it to a lower importance. Dancingredshoes 04:26, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
