2 Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
3 In large bowl, beat powdered sugar, butter, cocoa and salt with electric mixer on low speed until blended. Beat in 1/2 cup wine. If frosting is too thick, beat in more wine a few drops at a time. Frost cupcakes. Garnish with chocolate curls.

I am not a big wine drinker and have not tried many different wines, and the recipe says to use red zinfandel. I thought zinfandel was white? I am just confused. I need to make this recipe for a friends 30th Birthday, I think she would just love them!
