Occasions to drink rosé wine

Rosé wine is not enjoyed by most wine professionals and experienced individuals due to poor public opinion in the wine world. A rose is considered plain and simple. While this can be true at times, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. You must drink wine for yourself, not for other people. If wine snobs say that rosé is simple and unsophisticated, but you like it, then no one should stop you.

I like to drink pink in various settings. One for example, when it comes to ordering a full bottle of wine at a restaurant, but I’m eating meat and my date is eating fish. In that case we would have to order two separate bottles or order by the glass. Since a bottle is a much better deal than ordering by the glass in most cases, having pink is the more sensible option.

I also prefer pink for lunch, because a red looks too heavy. Some foods it goes well with are burgers, sandwiches, salads, etc., for which the white is too light, but the red is too heavy. Rose has that nice happy medium, which is why so many people like to drink it as a casual wine. It also goes quite well with pork, especially ham or salami. It is acidic enough to remove fat, but not so strong that it completely distorts the flavor of meats.

Rosé wine is also great for picnics and warm summer months if you don’t like white wine. It is much lighter and falls more easily than a strong, full-bodied red.
