Furthermore, a survey conducted by Wine Australia in 2020 found that Ros\u00e9 wine is the second most popular type of wine among Indian wine consumers, with 39% of respondents saying they had purchased Ros\u00e9 wine in the past year. The survey also noted that rose wine is particularly popular among younger wine drinkers in India.<\/p><p>The popularity of Ros\u00e9 wine globally can be gauged from statistics. According to a report by Wine Intelligence, their consumption increased by 30% in the United States since 2015, with sales reaching over $2.5 billion in 2020 while in the UK the sale increased by 14% in 2020 alone , despite the challenges presented by the Pandemic.<\/p><p><strong>Also Read : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/item_4_903.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #990000;\">Indians drinking buckets of Ros\u00e9 says Pioneer Sula<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Raining Ros\u00e9s in Sula <\/strong><\/p><p>The first time one got the whiff of a smart rise in the sale of Ros\u00e9 wines in India was when Rajeev Samant, Founder CEO of Sula Vineyards in an exclusive Chat with me in January 2022 disclosed to me, \u00a0\u00a0\u2018sales started galloping during the last 5 years, making it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/item_4_903.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #990000;\">the fastest<\/span><\/a> growing category -even when compared to white wines.

Sula has been growing at a CAG (compounded annual growth) of around 12% between 2016-2020. Even if one were to assume that this growth was 15% from 2016-2019, wine industry in India suffered a major setback in 2019-2021 due to Covid, bringing down sales to nil for a few months, although it started growing- at perhaps even higher rate than 20% ,due to the boom that followed.<\/p><p>It also appears ludicrous that Wine Australia presumes higher sales and consumption of Ros\u00e9 in India higher than white wine, with 39% of respondents saying they had purchased Rose wine in the past year!

However, Ros\u00e9 wine is now being enjoyed throughout the year, as wine aficionados discover its versatility and appeal. One reason why Ros\u00e9 lagged behind earlier was because men pronounced it as a woman\u2019s drink not fit for (macho) men. Younger men and women of course cherished the wine, making the increase more visible as their numbers grew.<\/p><p><strong>Also Read : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/item_4_810.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #990000;\">Brangelina Rose-Case for 500 mL size Wine Bottles for India<\/span> <\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Pink wine (Ros\u00e9) as it is commonly called, uses a diverse range of red grape varieties, such as Grenache, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Zinfandel and then blending with Chenin Blanc to make it softer.

While it is acceptable to have a cube or two in the wine glass to cool it, he advises the use of a chilled glass, dropping a cube in it, slowly pouring wine over the cube, and then removing and discarding the cube afterwards so as not to dilute the wine. He recommends serving white wines at 8-10\u2070C but Rose at 10-12\u2070 C. He cautions against serving it chilled at 6\u2070C like bubbly which is fine because of slightly higher acidity but would freeze the flavours of a still Ros\u00e9.<\/p><p><strong>Also Read : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/dm_52_item_1.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #990000;\">Beat the Indian Summer With This Bone Dry Rose <\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p><p><em>Ros\u00e8 s\u2019il vous plait! <\/em>Try a glass from several options by Sula.
