Just in time for National Ros\u00e9 Day on June 13 (and let’s face it….summer), and you know we turned that into National Sparkling Ros\u00e9 Day here at Bubbly Side of Life.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summertime and sparkling ros\u00e9 truly go hand in hand for me. There is something about the summer, being outside, soaking up the vitamin D that has be switch from my favorite sparkling brut to my favorite sparkling ros\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great list of the best sparkling ros\u00e9 wines are coming up, but let me answer some questions I get asked all the time about sparkling ros\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What gives sparkling ros\u00e9 it\u2019s pink color?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The answer to that is quite simple:  the skin of the grape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is sparkling ros\u00e9 made?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

People ask me this question all the time.  And there\u2019s not one way that sparkling ros\u00e9 is made actually.  The most popular method is when the grapes are crushed with the skin on for a period of time, from a few hours to a couple days. The longer it sits, the darker the color.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is sparkling ros\u00e9 sweeter than other sparkling wine?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not necessarily.  Refer to this sweetness scale when choosing your sparkling ros\u00e9.  Brut Nature, Extra Brut and Brut will have the least amount of sugar.  So, if you don\u2019t like a sweet bubbly or are watching your sugar intake, those should always be your go to choices for bubbly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Sweetness<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Are dark pink sparkling ros\u00e9 wines sweeter than light pink?  Or vice versa?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not necessarily.  You can\u2019t judge the sweetness level by the pinkness level.  The pink is a reflection of how long the skin was left on the grape.  And for sweetness levels, refer to the chart above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sparkling Ros\u00e9 Round Up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In my opinion (and those who I have recruited to help me taste along the way), here are the best sparkling ros\u00e9 wines in several different regions and, of course, if you want something quick, the grocery store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget, many of these wineries are shipping and have some great deals to get you stocked up on your favorite sparkling ros\u00e9 wine for summer.  If you can\u2019t get to them, they can certainly get it to you!  (If it\u2019s legal of course to ship to your state.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
