As reprinted from MenInTouch.com:

It’s a fact, whether you like it or not, gay wines are here to stay.It all began as some sort of silly game: why would anyone need to drinka gay wine? What would be the special features that would make a wine“gay friendly”? Well, I don’t have the answers, as I can’t predict thatin some near future we’ll have to choose between French fries and “gayFrench fries”, or “gay sodas”, etc (”gay etc”), the fact is that gaywines are a reality.

Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not opposed to it, it’s just the idea ofbecoming into some sort of sect, with special wines, etc, what’s reallytroubling me. But, what the heck, let’s continue with this post… Let’ssee some gay wine reviews:

Pilot Gay Wines

Pilot is the first line of gay wines created in Argentina. Althoughthere are older gay wines in other countries, this is the first entireline of wines. At the moment they offer the following wine “varietals”:

• Pilot Chardonnay
• Pilot Malbec
• Pilot Syrah
• Pilot Cabernet Sauvignon
• Pilot Champagne

The bottles are very well presented, with some fancy leather labelsand interesting colors. If you want production notes, I haven’t tastedthem yet, but I’ve heard that in an overall, we are talking of a freshcollection of wines, specially designed for summer times.

Pansy

Marketed as the “world’s first gay wine” by New Zealand’s KimCrawford Wines, this wine is a Rosé made from Merlot, with a splash ofMalbec and Cabernet Franc. It’s fruity, pink-hued, requires a certaintaste and is targeted at the gay community.

These are some comments on this wine:

The Winemaker’s Notes:

Pansy! is a sculptured wine. Made from Pinot Noir grapes fromNelson, a portion of juice was bled from the grapes one day aftercrushing. The wine was then handled like a white wine, cool fermentedand sulfured once dry. Once stabilized the wine was bottled early toretain its natural freshness.

The Blurb on the Label:

Fresh, funky, fleshy and fun, this rose is an ideal aperitif, summer sipper or just because… Like life, Pansy is made to enjoy.

According to Erica Crawford “Pansy wine is about “friendship,kindness and generosity of spirit”. The wine is aimed directly at thegay community.
