National Rosé Day is a time to celebrate the summer, friends, and everything pink. Few people require an excuse to crack open a new bottle of rosé wine, but we’ve got some excellent ideas to make the day a memorable one. National Rosé Day is celebrated annually on the second Saturday of June, which falls on June 10 this year. It was created by the Swedish rosé producer Bodvár to honour this splendid summer wine. Whether you prefer your rosé still or sparkling, deep pink or orange, raise a glass to this summertime staple.
The background of National Rosé Day
When the sky is clear, the sun is dazzling, and the sunbeds are out, it is the ideal time to enjoy a glass of the silky pink beverage. Who was the first magician to bottle the pink haze of the twilight sky?
Unfortunately, the precise moment when the beverage was first created is still unclear, as many of the most well-known red wines were commonly pink a very long time ago. This is due to the fact that the techniques used to produce darker wines, such as hard pressing, were not extensively utilised. Ancient Greeks, who were experts in all types of wine, preferred lighter beverages because they made you appear more civilised.
People from Phocaea, modern-day Turkey, carried grapevines to the old city of Marseille during the middle ages, thereby turning people’s attention to rosé.
However, rosé’s arrival in America was somewhat tardy. In recent years, one of the most renowned American wineries, Sutter Home Winery, attempted to replicate the summer drink, but failed because their first attempt was too sweet and had a disagreeable aftertaste. That did not prevent the winery from perfecting the formula and becoming the first producer of the blush beverage.
Currently, rosé is associated with all things stylish, elegant, and glamorous. It is so ubiquitous that it is considered a thirst-quenching wine. An uncomplicated beverage to sip while cooking or a refreshment served to guests before supper.
In 2014, when the Hamptons ran out of rosé, the status of sparkling rosé was cemented. In October of the same year, National Rosé Day was declared an official holiday.
