Answers.Text: I thought the original poster was having a "lapse". I agree it could be Zinfardel. Zinbardel could be a mash up of zinfandel and barbera, but if it was a jug wine, there should be some record of it out there and I searched high and low and could find nothing.

Answers.Body: <p>There is nothing called "Zinbardel". The only thing close is Zinfandel. Just in case I was missing something I did a google search on ZinBARdel and it had only 6 results. One of them was your question! Now if you are talking about ZinFANdel, all you have to do is go to your closest supermarket and buy a jug of Gallo Zinfandel.</p>

Answers.Text: I am quite an expert in grape varieties. I checked my references, some of them quite old and could not find any reference. Grape varieties do not come and go that quickly. You be the judge. Zinfandel or Zinbardel?

  The marketing strategy of labeling wines below the luxury or super-premium price points with grape varietal names was just emerging in the late 60s or early 70s. So the product name may not have been a varietal; as a "jug wine" it may have been a marketing name for a blend (perhaps Zinfandel & Barbera).
  
  Alternatively Hugh Johnson's Vintage: *The Story of Wine* states that a vine called '**Black Zinfardel** from Hungary' was offered in the 1830 catalog of the Princes of Long Island nursery (p 364). Could it be a memory lapse?
