How to identify a rosé wine glass?
To answer this, let's ask ourselves what rosé wine is. The style of rosé wines is influenced by the grape variety or varieties used, the terroir, and especially the winemaking method. Their aromas, most often fruity and floral, are more or less intense. Rosé wines do not age well and are best enjoyed when young. The color of rosé wines can display all shades, from almost colorless to grenadine red. Since mixing red and white wines is not allowed, the color comes from red grapes whose skin pigments stain the juice. Rosé wine requires a relatively large glass, 35 to 40 cl. This is how a Provence rosé, a Tavel, a Côtes de Provence, a Bandol, a Sancerre rosé, or a Cabernet d'Anjou will express itself perfectly. But be careful, quality rosé wine is never a blend of white and red wine. Only in Champagne are such blends allowed. There are two methods that will produce two different types of rosé wines with more or less intense colors. Saignée rosé wine reveals intense red fruit aromas and makes for a full-bodied rosé wine. Pressé rosé wine beautifully expresses citrus and white flower aromas and offers a fresh style of wine. The style of rosé wines is therefore characterized by their intensity of aromas and body. They can be light and powerful. Their aromas can be discreet or, on the contrary, very pronounced. It's logical! Rosé wine is closer to red wine than to white wine since it is made with grape varieties that can produce red wines. Moreover, most often, rosé wines are made from a blend of grape varieties, which allows for greater aromatic diversity. Did you know? Rosé wine is a French favorite! 36% of global consumption is drunk in France. It is also THE wine for lovers, with its consumption peaking on February 14th! It's up to you to find the one that suits you.
