Wine experts can often tell a wine just by simply looking at it. The methods used to create unique looking wines are time-honoured traditions that have been refined for centuries. Wine has been around for a while, and many of the best wines in the world got their start in France. While it is not exactly known where rose wine got its start, the name of the wine is definitely French. Pronounced rose-ay, it is a variety of wine that looks very different and is created using very unique methods. It is so unique that no two bottles will ever look exactly the same. When a winery makes this kind of wine, it needs to be very careful and make sure that this special wine is treated very carefully.
The first thing that strikes people about rose wine is its colour. With a name like rose, most people would expect this wine to have a bright red hue to it. But this wine is much different than the varieties of red wines that you are used to seeing. The colour of this wine can actually vary from very light to very dark. It is the process of making the wine that gives it the name. The colour can range from a very light orange or pink shade all the way to a very deep purple. The deeper the colour the wine is capable of is what causes most people to mistake it for a different form of red wine.

The way that a rose wine is made is what makes it special. There is a wide variety of grapes that can be used to make this wine. When the wine is made, the skin is left in with the juice to help give it that unique hue. Another way that this wine is made is as a by-product of bleeding darker wines. Bleeding a wine is when the pink coloured juice is removed from the wine just prior to the fermentation process to create a darker wine. The pink juice is then processed on its own to produce rose.
One of the common misconceptions about rose wine is that it is sometimes made by combining red and white wines. The French take their wine very seriously. They take it so seriously that it is against French law to combine red and white wines to produce a rose and you’d never find such a substance in a wine bar! As for mulled wine, well that’s a different story altogether! It must be made properly or else it should not be made at all.
