Rosé the day away BY GRETCHEN KELLER
A
s temperatures climb and summer relaxation begins to set in, the transition from red wines to lighter, colder wines is in
full force. Summer wines create a refreshing opportunity to cool-down for people doing all warm weathered activities, from beach days and deck parties, to picnics and family pastimes. Recently, the demand for rosé, the very Instagrammable pink drink, has increased greatly. Brett Berrie, a wine consultant at Young’s Liquors in Manhasset, said “the whole category exploded and has been growing over the last four years. It’s just become extremely popular because it’s very easy to drink outdoors on a hot summer’s day because it’s refrigerated. It’s a little bit more refreshing.” The key to rosé is that it is created differently from white and red wines. Rosés are made from crushed black grapes. The grape skins are left in contact with the grape juice for only a short amount of time, according to Wine Folly, which is the source of the
wine’s pinkish tint. Depending on the manufacturer, many different flavors are used in the rosé process, said Berrie. Some of these flavors include strawberry, rose petal, zest and honeydew melon. As of summer 2018, Young’s Liquors carries over 40 different kinds of rosé. “I think part of the reason why rosé is so popular is because red wines don’t have to be completely refrigerated. They should be slightly cooler than room temperature, the proper temperature being around 68 degrees, but rosés should be served cold,” explained Berrie. Lighter red wines tend to sell better in the summertime, such as Pinot Noir. However, rosé isn’t the only common summer served beverage. The top sellers of summer white wines, said Berrie, are New Zealand and Californian Sauvignon Blanc and Italian Pinot Grigio. Prosecco and other sparkling wines also tend to sell well in the summertime, after the overwhelming amount of rosé requests. The harvest period for rosé is best from the end of August until the end of September.
