Rosé wine, ah yes... the sparkling blush-colored beverage that has long been associated with romance and luxury. This bubbly pink drink, which some refer to as "vin de soif," or a "wine to quench thirst," is a favorite on hot summer days because of its refreshing flavor and color. Although it has only recently gained popularity in the United States, rosé wine has been a staple in France for generations. Even today, the south of France is still regarded as the birthplace of the rosé despite the many varieties available in the worldwide market.
Ancient Greeks were commonly thought to have consumed a form of red wine that was similar to rosé wine a long time ago. It's interesting to note that drinking these wines was viewed as more refined than drinking wine that wasn't diluted. There was a generally held idea that drinking undiluted wine had the potential to drive one insane and was often considered barbaric.
Rosé is a winner when it comes to party drinks and food pairings, so when it's time to drink rosé, make sure your customers drink it from the world-renowned Coleford INAO Wine Taster glass.
