Default Why are people so snobby about White Zinfandel and Rose wines?

I don't understand why people turn thier noses up to white zin and rose? I swear Napa valley residents would kick me out if I asked for a glass there.

White Zin and Rose is actually not even a kind of grape is the real reason wine lover despise it. A Zinfandel is a kind of grape and when used to make wine, it produces a very deep red wine with a nice smokey flavor. It's a real wine drinkers wine. Those new to wine would probably find it a little too harsh. White Zin, in some cases, can be so full of sugar it almost tastes like fruit punch. It is definitely made while thinking of those who would otherwise not be wine drinkers.

Hello,

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 connoisseurs. 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. Rose is an entirely different animal and should not even be used in the same sentence as White Zin. The only similarity is that rose and white zin are both blush/pink wines made from red wine grapes that have sat in contact with the red grape skins for a period of time. A good rose is typically very dry and not sweet at all. It pairs wonderfully well with all sorts of food. And a true wine connoisseur would not make fun of your look down you for having a Rose. White Zin to me is nothing more than a wine cooler. White Zin and Rose is actually not even a kind of grape is the real reason wine lover despise it. A Zinfandel is a kind of grape and when used to make wine, it produces a very deep red wine with a nice smokey flavor. It's a real wine drinkers wine.
