WINE SEX? Do wines have a gender?

When you sip a wine, do you ever think of it in terms of gender?

Would you consider a voluptuous full-bodied pinot noir "feminine" or a bold, aggressive cabernet sauvignon "masculine?" Which of these two wine portraits portrays a soft wine?

I often think of gender in wine because of my sensory experiences and also from years of microscopic explorations of wine's innner structures.

Some wines, seen through the microscope show only rounded soft "feminine" forms, others are primarily angular and sharp. And of course, some wines have a balance of 'inner designs.'

My website SondraBarrett.comoffers information, images and products that show you this inner side of wine. Check out your visual favorites and see if your mind and mouth agree.
