Summer is on its way, which means it's nearly time to crack open the best bottles of rosés to cheers to warmer days. But drinking pink doesn’t have to break the bank. After a long, boozy hunt, we found the best rosé bottles under $20 to help you stay hydrated all summer long.
A common misconception with rosé is that it is a mixture of red and white wine. Rosé wine actually gets its iconic pink color from contact with the red grape skins. The grapes can either be pressed directly or the juice is left in contact with the skins for a few hours. The longer they are left, the darker pink the rosé will be. While shopping for rosé, you'll come across several different types, including Provence, Grenache, Sangiovese, Syrah, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and more. To read about the types, check out this explainer.
The flavor profile of rosé varies greatly, but you'll find that most have a brightness and a crispness to them, with typical notes of red fruit, flowers, citrus, and melon. You can absolutely drink rosé on its own, but if you want to pair it with food, try spicy foods, bbq, sushi, seafoods, and salads.
If you're more of a red wine drinker, explore these selections. Or if white wine is much more your thing, try our recommendations here. Not a drinker but still want something to sip on?
