What is blush wine?

Blush wine, also known as rosé wine, is a type of wine that has a pinkish hue. It can be made from a variety of grape varietals, but most commonly it's made from red wine grapes such as Grenache, Syrah, or Pinot Noir. The pink color comes from the limited contact the grape skins have with the juice during the winemaking process, which results in a lighter color than red wine.

Blush wine can range from sweet to dry, depending on the level of residual sugar left in the wine. It's typically lighter and crisper than red wine, making it a popular choice for summertime sipping. Blush wine pairs well with a variety of foods, including seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes.

Blush wine is also a popular choice for sparkling wine and Champagne, with many sparkling wine producers producing a rosé version. Rosé wine has been gaining popularity in recent years, with many wine makers producing high-quality, dry rosé wines that can hold their own against traditional red and white wines.
