But white zinfandel has the third-largest market share by case volume
[1]. Clearly the community has spoken, and they find that white zin
meets their beverage needs. Who are we to impose our elitist ivory-tower
quality standards?
Watch for future fast-tracks to implement bud(1) and coors(1). Although
some might argue that they duplicate much of the functionality of
beer(1), the implementation is completely different, and there is a
substantial installed base that demands 100% compatibility. It should be
possible to provide sufficient packaging metadata to prevent accidental
consumption of bud(1) and coors(1) by the unwary.
