Tricky because the answers are not in the same spot for each question. Is it possible to make it so that one is always on top of the other and consistent?

I know nothing about wine I don't even like it so I guessed all apart for the blanc one and fluked a 11/15 .Good idea for a quiz.

Similar for me, I completely guessed 11 of the 15 answers and ended up 12/15 correct. Just went off of vibes.

Based on the percentage I wasn't the only one tricked by the fact there's a wine called White Zinfandel (although that also isn't a white apparently).

Yes, "White Zin" is a pink color. But not pink like the Pepto Bismol you will need to counteract that heartburn-in-a-bottle masquerading as wine.

Yeah, that's a fun one. Zinfandel is a red grape, but they make white zin by removing the skins before fermenting. The skins are what give most reds their hue, and their astringency. So you end up with a lighter color and lighter flavor that's sweeter and fruitier, and makes a better slushie.

Pinot noir is also the main grape for champagne (the skin is removed). Champagne counts as a white wine no?

Almost all of the red grapes can produce white wines so this quiz doesn't really make sense

I was going to contradict you saying "yes, kind of, but blanc de blancs and blanc de noirs are still distinct," though, and red vs. white grapes is a real distinciton.

But you're actually totally right, it could be fixed by asking about the color of the grape, and also, the instructions refer to "varietal" incorrectly, it should be "variety". Grapes come in varieties, while wine can be a "varietal"--meaning made principally from one variety of grape.

I like wine.

Zinfandel is ambiguous because it is also made into rosé (blush, pink, whatever you want to call it).

That's white zinfandel, which is a sweet rose. Zinfandel is a red wine grape.

Zinfandel is not red, it is blush and much closer to white than red. It is also on the sweeter side like many white wines vs the dry to semi-dry of red wines.

You are referring to white zinfandel. The zinfandel grape is a red wine grape, in such wines as....Zinfandel, which is a red wine.

Very ignorant comment. Also, there are plenty of dry white wines.

Super easy, got them all in 30 seconds. Helps that these are all very common varietals.

I've tried a white malbec in Argentina (Trivento, from Mendoza). Really clear with very very slightly pink hue, absolutely stunning.
