Rosé wine is awful.

[AesopsMables]

Please give your opinions, all welcome...

I've yet to find a Rosé wine that doesn't give me an instant dull headache, tried lots of different blends/price points and still believe that it tasted just crap.

Whispering Angel! Beautiful.

@AesopsMables

I probably haven't tasted the "good stuff" then? Including but not limited to... Whispering Angel AIX Minuty

Awful 😞

The good stuff is down to the tastebuds! Honestly one persons favourite wine can easily be another persons 'yick!'. If there are other wines that you like, then guaranteed there will be a rose tipple out there for you. Just keep sippin'!

"Rosé - wine for people who don't like wine"!

You need Gris!

I don't mind pink champagne but anything else rose gives me a headache.

@Pinkstegosaurus I have seen the gin! Haven’t tried it yet though. It will be lovely :)

Leftfield from Waitrose when it's 25% off or Tesco Finest Malbec Rose. Both yummy.

What on Earth are you all drinking?! True, the bright pink bubblegum Zinfandel rosé stuff is foul - but a pale, bone dry, ice cold Provençal or Corsican rosé is the nectar of the gods.

This

Why do people still say this?

Heartburn in a bottle.

because they want to sound clever while actually also not knowing much about wine!

@rottd unfortunately rosé still gets looked down on quite a lot. I’m a big white and red drinker, but there’s still plenty of rosés I love as well.

clearly as rose wine has changed dramatically & is a growing market.

The statement “Rose wine is awful” makes no more sense to me than “red / white wine is awful”. Some is, some isn’t.

It's like saying lager is rubbish because of Carlsberg, Stella, Fosters et al!

You just need to try the right one. For what it's worth I thought this about Vodka and Bourbon too!

Go pale. I have no idea why but I have more luck with roses that are the merest blush. And Provençal is the most bombproof

To be fair I don't like red & have tried loads but I get headaches but I love certain rose & whites. Just don't get the snobbish attitude to rose, I think it's incredibly versatile.

Try this one - it’s stunning!

Sickly sweet Zinfandel makes me heave (and I can drink paint stripper), but give me a lovely cold pale glass of "pink" and I can guzzle it.

Anyone ever had Swiss Œil de Perdrix?
V popular around these parts. (Cock's Eye we call it 😆)

Hm, the only way I drink it is 1 part rosé to 3 parts gin, on ice.

Anyone ever had Swiss Œil de Perdrix? no but I'll look out for it

I like most wines - love a heavy red in winter and a light (even chilled) one in summer, white is nice but needs to be dry for me and ice cold, light rose and a really dry cava

@warmeduppizza anything’s a mixer if you’re brave enough

Totally

@RosieCockle

Yes, we’re in Switzerland and drink œil de perdrix sometimes.

DH is from Provence and they drink plenty of rosé down there. I’d like to see them told that it’s for people who don’t like wine! Try a Bandol…

As pale and as dry as you can go. Heaven
