Rosé wine is currently very popular. This is unbelievable especially since rosé has really only been gaining popularity over the last several years (aka since the early 2000s). If you Google rosé wine, you will find over 80 million results. Of these 80 million results, you will find several hundred relating to millennials and their love of rosé wine. Because of this, I was nervous about writing a rosé wine review out of fear that I would be just another millennial writing about a rosé. But I decided to go ahead and write one because I like a good rosé!
Rosé wines are wines that have a pink or blush color. These wines get their color from the interaction between the grape skins and the grape juice during winemaking. The skins are typically left in the juice for a couple of days which is just enough time to produce the nice pink color. Rosé wines are typically from the south of France but can be made elsewhere.
Based on my Wikipedia research, rosé wines were some of the first wines to have been produced. These wines had a resurgence after World War II when two Portuguese winemakers released a sweet rosé to the US and Europe. These wines were extremely popular for several years, but that popularity faded away like the slow death of the floppy disk. However, unlike the floppy disk, these wines made a successful comeback. The comeback was originally only a summertime drink, but it is slowly starting to be a go-to drink all year long. If you don’t believe me, just check out Buzzfeed and the number of posts related to rosé wine.
The September crochet CraftEaze box wine suggestion was the Prophecy Rosé. I found this rosé at my local grocery store, but it can also be bought at Target. This wine can be purchased for $20 or less. You can use this website to find a location near you: http://www.prophecywines.com/#purchase.
The Prophecy Rosé is a crisp dry wine. I can taste flavors of raspberries and peach. I enjoy drinking this wine while watching Netflix and working on a craft project. This wine would be a good wine to serve with dinner or at a brunch. These wine glasses would be perfect to enjoy a glass this wine in. The gold polka dots will contrast greatly with the light pink color of the wine. These glasses are also stemless, so you don’t have to worry about breaking the stems off when you are doing dishes. Speaking from experience, one of the worst things to break in the kitchen is the stem of a wine glass. Like the part that holds the drink is still perfectly good, but you can’t use it anymore because there is no way to set the glass down or hold the wine glass without getting a cut.
