Rosé is one of the oldest known type of wine and well known as the drink of the summer. Generally made from red grapes, rosé wines are lighter than red wine and deeper than white wine. The pink hue of rosé wine depends on the time the grape skin stays in contact with the juice, also known as maceration. A versatile wine, rosé wines can also be semi-sparkling or sparkling, with different intensities of sweetness levels and dryness.
