Display products in multiple categories based on product info

Hello,

I am working on a wine shopping website, and I have a question about how the wines can be displayed across multiple categories...

The wines are broken down into these categories and subcats:

Red Wine

Red Grapes

Cabernet Sauvignon
Gamay
etc...

Style (red)

Red - Light & Fruity
Red - Smooth & Supple
etc...

Region:

California
Washington
etc...

Price:

Great Deals
$15 & Below
$15 - $30
$30 - $50
$50 - Above

White Wine

White Grapes

Chardonnay
Chenin Blanc
etc...

Style (white)

White - Light & Crisp
White - Fruity & Smooth
etc...

Region:

California
Washington
etc...

Price:

Great Deals
$15 & Below
$15 - $30
$30 - $50
$50 - Above

So "Zentastic Cabernet - a light and fruity red wine from from California" costs $16.00 and would be featured in the following categories:

Red Wine > Red Grapes > Cabernet Sauvignon
Red Wine > Style (red) > Light & Fruity
Red Wine > Region > California
Red Wine > Price > $15 - $30

I suppose it would also be preferable if "Region" and "Price" could also be separate from the red/white top categories so that all CA wines, whether red or white, could be featured in the California subcategory.

What is the best way to accomplish all of this in Zen Cart 1.3.9d?

Thanks!

Re: Display products in multiple categories based on product info

I ended up just using the "Copy> Link" feature for each of the products... seems like it will do what I need it to do. Please post here if you have any alternative/better solutions.
