Recent studies discovered that NASCAR fans are into wine, and the same can be said of Harley Davidson owners, hence a new wine aiming at the Harley fan demographic. The V-Twin Zin from the
V-Twin Vineyards in Sonoma is a wine for the motorcycle lifestyle. The 2004 estate vineyard Zinfandel is sourced from a vineyard in the Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma County, Calif., and has a label decorated with skulls and a flaming V-twin engine. The company also have a member gallery on its website for biker pictures. Other releases planned are the River Run Chardonnay, Poker Run Cabernet, Redwood Run Zinfandel and the Toy Run Rose. The 2004 V-Twin Zin sells for $24 per bottle.

then later, you can pull down your Harley-Davidson(TM) underwear and relieve yourself of your H-D wine down your H-D toilet and pull H-D TP from your H-D roll holder. like it has anything to do with motorcycles.

There's a demographic? is that like a tag or something that say's if you ride a Harley, you gotta be this way or that? I think I'll skip it, it probably taste like burnt motor oil anyway....... isn't that like profiling? oh wait, can we all Jesse or Al? will they help us ?? This is almost laughable....................... how stereotypical can they get?

H.D. Wine? Are you kidding me ? How many bikers will admit to stopping at the local salon, listen to a live band, watch some chicks dancing and order a glass of "Wine" No offence, but maybe at a honda goldwing convention !

This is why I bought a Kawasaki 1500 Vulcan Nomad. #1 it is a better bike pound for pound than most HD's but most importantly unlike my friends and relatives that own HD's I don't have to buy anything that is HD...I just like driving my bike and bringing one of my family along with me. These people I know have rooms in their houses and even their cars to show they are HD owners. As someone said what does all this merchandise has to do with biking. There was a time when if you had all the S--- you were thought of less than a biker and more of a Loser! What has the biker become a billboard for Harley-Davidson...! Spend your $$$ on gas and your time enjoying the sights.

To Ringo, a biker would never admit to stopping at a local Salon, at least any I know. A Saloon maybe. But not to drink HD Wine, I agree.
Bumpa Apr 16th 2007 4:37PM
Ummm there is already a biker wine, Its called beer! as for this HD Wine it is for trailer queens and wannabe's. as for me I do prefer to ride HD's but the only thing that I own that has a HD logo on it are some X-mas ornaments my kid's got me for X-mas present's I ride to for the freedom not the status it seems to have for these wannabe's!

I THINK WE WOULD HAVE RATHER HAD SOME H/D LONGNECKS!!!

O.K. I understand all the negative atttitudes towards a wine for Harley riders (stereotypical)..
But my wife rides with me and all she drinks is wine so I would like to get some of that juice in Connecticut soon... Thanx

They already produced a HD Beer and it sucked. I own a Harley, but I agee with JOE that there is too much Harley crap.

To all HD riders, there is not a better feeling than riding a harley because its the thunder and the sound that makes the difference...about you riders that talk about wannabees, we were all wannabees until we bought our Harleys, now we have them and we are all HD riders, the difference is riders and owners of trailors...as far as wine? a rider drinks anything as long as there is a buzz afterwards...
Timarie Apr 16th 2007 5:51PM
I ride my own Harley, and I don't drink beer. I drink wine...so if it tastes grear, then I have no problem asking for it. #1...We don't go to local saloons...it's about the ride. #2...It's not just men that ride...WOMEN RIDE HARLEY'S, TOO!!! and #3...DRINK RESPONSIBLY. H-D Wine or otherwise...gotta keep your head about you when you are riding the iron horse!

Don't panic posters... It's just another sales gimmick. Don't let it cause you stress or ruin your life...
jack Apr 16th 2007 6:15PM
will the HD wine complement the HD beef jerky sold in gas stations? and do i need to buy some HD cheese to eat with it, and do i need to wipe my mouth on HD napkins too?
drunk Apr 16th 2007 6:32PM

ATTENTION MORONS. IT IS NOT HARLEY or HD WINE. LEARN TO READ. It is wine made by a vinter trying to cash in on the Harley, Chopper, Bobber trend and sell to that market. The wine is called V-twin Zin not Harley or HD. Vtwins are made in America, Japan and Italy to name a few. If you dont like it because of its name dont drink it. Some great wines come from Sonoma and some great bikes come from the countries I mentioned. Who cares if its marketed to the bike riding set? If you think you are too manly to drink wine then dont. I bet there a bunch of wannabees on here talking crap who really are only weekend warriors who play dressup when on thier Harley or whatever motorcycle they have then go home and hide it or to work in thier suits during the week. I say good for the people who made it.
Rick Apr 16th 2007 7:44PM
And to follow that up. I do ride also. I have had Harleys, Hondas, Suzuki and a custom chopper. And Debbie was right, its not about what you ride its that you ride at all and make an effort to help Bros and Sis' who need it no matter what they on and pass a kind gesture to those who share the road with you. I cant stand those who think because they are on one bike or another they think they are better somehow, faster, cooler, richer, poorer, more badass or deserve some sort of extra respect. Its all about the ride.
