Sales of premium rose wines increase dramaticallyPosted Jun 18th 2007 6:06AM by Jonathan M. ForesterFiled under: Wine, Spirit of Summer, Trends, Did you know?, Light Food, Liquor CabinetIt seems that wine sales have been going up drastically across the board, but the largest increase in consumption has been among the high end dry rose's. They have increased in sales by an amazing 45% in the last year alone. I assume many people have discovered these great wines, both in taste and value, if those numbers are accurate. For those of you not familiar with anything other than the sweeter pink wines like white zinfandel, let me tell you these are a totally different critter. Dry, crisp, but with more fruit than a white wine, but tasting nothing like a red. They are great wines to serve in summer, or when you are having dishes like fish, poultry, pork, and other lighter meats and foods. They are the perfect wine when you don't know whether you want a white or a red, and many are really excellent wines.
