A Quick History of Rosé Wines
Rosé is actually one of the oldest styles of wine in the world. In ancient Greece, lighter-colored wines were common because grapes were pressed quickly, and extended skin contact (which creates red wine) wasn’t yet common practice. As winemaking evolved, regions like Provence, France became known for perfecting the modern dry rosé style we love today — pale pink, crisp, and refreshing.
Fast forward to the 2000s, and rosé had a full-on glow-up. From niche to mainstream, it’s now a summer staple — complete with wine festivals, hashtag holidays, and of course, endless bottles in every shade of blush.
