Is Rosé Over?

If you thought "rosé all day" was over, think again, honey.

While rosé is particularly popular in the warm-weather months, more and more consumers are becoming open to the idea of drinking rosé in the winter due to its stylistic ambiguity. Within the past few years, rosé sales have been catching up to those of red wine, with the wines’ brighter acidity, lower alcohol content, undetectable tannins, and versatility when it comes to food. Rosé can go with almost anything, from charcuterie and pasta to shellfi sh and spicy Asian noodles. Contrary to popular belief (a.k.a what I thought before researching rosé styles), most modern rosé wines are dry. Though each wine is di erent, strawberries and cherries are commonly found fl avors in both dry and sweet rosé. From sweet, sparkling bubbles to dry Côtes de Provence, transport yourself to the south of France with these pretty in pink picks.
