What is Rosé Wine?

Rosé wine is a type of wine with an infamous pinkish color, ranging from pale pink to deep red. It is made from a variety of red wine grapes, but popular grapes used are grenace, muscat, pinot noir, pinot gris and tempranillo. Rosé is made in several ways including blending (blending red and white wine) and maceration (short skin contact with the skins). All techniques result in a lighter color and sometimes a lighter flavor profile. Rosé wines can be still or sparkling, and can be made in a variety of styles, from dry to sweet. They are often associated with warmer weather and are commonly served chilled. Rosé wine is popular in many regions around the world, including France, Spain, Italy, and the United States.
