Rosé wine may be the perfect drink for summer but it’s also pretty good throughout the rest of the year. With Christmas around the corner, here’s why you should start stocking up!
Great for Drinks Parties and Pre-Dinner Drinks
Because Rosé is naturally low in tannin and acidity, it makes the ideal drink for welcoming guests to a party or dinner. A full-bodied red or zingy white will simply be too harsh on an empty stomach but a crisp rosé will make a nice, refreshing change from a light white or fruity red.
The Perfect Match for Food
Rose wine is the perfect all-rounder when it comes to matching with food. Whether you are serving canapés, a cold buffet, a vegetarian meal, pizza or pasta, or roast turkey, a bottle of Rosé will come up trumps. Few other styles of wine are so versatile!
Makes a Perfect Gift
The pink tinge of Rose wine always looks good, so naturally it makes a great gift. For the ideal Christmas present, why not mix a case of all your favourites?
Sparkling Rosé for Parties
With all the parties and celebrations over the festive season, a few bottles of bubbly are bound to be on the agenda. So if you really want to jazz things up a bit, why not go for some pink fizz for a change?
A Range of Styles
Rosé is no longer just about Rose d’Anjou or sweet Californian style blush. Instead, you’ll come across everything from light, crisp Rosés, which can be likened to a bottle of white wine, through to dark, fruity Rosés, which taste more like a bottle of red. And with the temperatures cooling down, now’s the time to sample the heavier ones - you’ll find they slide down much easier than on a hot summer’s afternoon!
