Rose wines are very much in fashion these days. And it’s quite compulsory to drink pink on Valentine’s Day. It is the sure shot way to make your sweetheart smile and convert any guy worth his salt into a Romeo on Valentine’s Day.
The Historical Connection of Rose Wines
Rosés happen to be special wines that were preferred by the ancients.
Traditionally, rosé wines are made by leaving the skins with the juice for a day or two, until a light color starts to appear.
Grapes whether green-skinned or black have white juice, barring a few exceptions. Once the juice is removed from the grape skin, the rosé is fermented like a white wine. This yields a fresh, zesty beverage.
Having said that, let us check out the best sparklers for Valentine’s Day.
