Terrific New eBook On How To Broil Delicious Foods When red and white wine sales are steadily dwindling around Europe, what could the answer be? Mix them both together to make rosé says the EU. Rosé wine has been produced for decades all around the world and there are a number of different ways to produce it, all of which take great care and refined processes. The most widely used approach is to follow the “nobler” tradition of crushing red grapes and soak up the red tannin from the mixture before it can stain into the wine. This produces a lovely rose-coloured appearance and a light glow. Brussels have thought of a different way of doing it and it is a lot more simple. They have put forward a proposition to make the wine by taking white wine (around 95%) and mixing in a little red wine until the mixture takes on a pinkish look. On April 27th a draft EU plan will be put to a final vote and would allow the new type of wine to be produced and sold anywhere in Europe Wine makers in Provence, where a large percentage of France’s rosé is made are not at all happy. Many of them feel that the producers of red and white wine in Europe are selling out since white wine sales have been overtaken by rosé in France.

Rosé wine rack up a figure of 22% of total wine sales in France currently. Experts however believe that the new blended wine will not catch on in the way producers hope. Many state that only through grueling testing and years of refinement can a rosé develop it’s unique qualities and drinkability.
