Question

What brand is good for white zinfandel i went to wine and spriit's and theres alot of them?

Answer 1

Sutter Home and Beringer both from Napa are THE major players in the White Zin game. Beringer being the top seller. But Sutter Home developed it first in the 1970s.



And for Julie R at the top who mentioned Sutter Home as well. It has nothing to do with peeling the grapes. Nobody peels grapes for any wine. The skins are actually what give the wine their color. The grape juice is left in contact with the skin for short time.



I would stick with either of those if you must have WZ.



I personally can't stand the stuff. tastes like kool aide. If you want a sweeter style wine like that that actually can be paired with food and has greater depth, try Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Moscato, etc.

Answer 5

One that I was introduced to about 20 years ago is Sutter Home. I'm not an expert at wine, but I know what tastes good to me. Sutter Home is especially smooth and has no bite when you finish (I'm told that's because the Zinfandel grapes are peeled before pressing).

It's a California wine that is inexpensive and available pretty much anywhere.

Answer 6

I agree that Zin isn't all that great. I mean, it's OKAY, but it really isn't a great wine.



In order to really appreciate a wine (red or white) you need to attend a wine tasting event, or visit a specialty shop. You will be able to try all the different varieties, from dry to sweet. From there, you'll find the one that you really like.



Just remember, when sampling wines... always start with the dry wines. If you start with the sweet and work your way back to dry.... it will quickly resemble vinegar and you'll be jaded as to how "horrible" a dry is.



A very nice white to drink would either be a Muscato or a Riesling. The Muscato is a little drier than the Riesling, but is a very nice wine to drink alone or with some shrimp cocktail.



Another lovely white would be Pinot Grigio (pronounced peenyo greejeeo). It too is a semi-dry wine that is just gorgeous.



There are many different labels out there, but to be honest, most of them taste the same. If you sample from different places, you might notice a SLIGHT difference in flavor and feel, but it's a negligible difference.



Try them. Find the one you like. Enjoy it. Life is too short to waste it on bad wine.

Answer 7

Personal opinion only.. NONE!..... Basically they are all alike - White Zinfandel is a sweet, ghastly wine made to appeal to non-wine drinkers. Sorta like wine with training wheels for hillbillies. If you want something with a bit more character and class, get an German Auslese Reisling or a Gewurtztraminer.

Answer 8

For white zins, I like Fetzer....thats about it. I prefer Pinot Griogio, Sauvignon Blanc, Moscato & Cabernet. It takes a while to find your faves because there is plenty of them to try & depending on budget.

Answer 9

I like Arbor Mist. It tastes good and it's not pricey. I had a bottle of Beringer here, but it was so sour, I couldn't drink it.

Answer 10

NONE - please learn to appreciate wine by drinking something other than White Zin. If you are looking for a light bodied, sweeter wine, try a gewurtztraminer.
