Ways to enjoy a tipple of rose wine
There are many ways to enjoy a fine selection of rose wine, including serving it slightly chilled as an aperitif or pairing it with light summer dishes like salads and seafood. Soft cheeses, like brie and goat cheese, are the best companions since the acidity in the drink heightens the creaminess and saltiness. Rose wines can also be used in cocktails or to make sangria. There is no “right” way to drink rose wine; experiment and find the best method for you and your palate.

FAQs
Is rose wine a red or white wine?
Rose wine is a pink-hued tipple that falls somewhere between red and white. What sets rose wine apart from the other types of wine is how it's made. The most common method of production, maceration, involves using red grapes, which are harvested, brought into the winery and crushed to release their juices. The crushed red grapes are then macerated or soaked for a limited period of time to allow the grape skins to influence the juice.
How much alcohol is in rose wine?
Most rose wines for sale typically have an alcohol content of 10-13% ABV, similar to other white and red wines.
How do you store rose wine?
When you buy rose wine, it’s important that you store it similarly to white wines. Generally, rose wines should be kept in a cool, dark place between 7-12°C. In addition, the bottle must be kept on its side so that the cork stays moist and does not dry out.
Can I drink rose wine every day?
Although it’s always important to practise moderation when drinking wine, research found that rose wine can have more health benefits than white wine and some advantages over red wine, like being lower in alcohol content. One glass of rose wine may help increase good cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and decrease blood sugar levels to help with weight maintenance.
Is rose wine strong?
