Rosé Day

Since:
🥂 2014

“Stop and smell the rosé.”

🍷🏺🍇

As the evening sun sets down so low,
Rosé’s colors start to glow and show.
So sip and savor, and let it flow,
Like the evening sun, as it starts to go.

Like the sky, a in morning pink
In evening twilight, a perfect drink
With every sip, my worries fade
Like the sun, as it finds the shade

Rosé all Day Today!

Are you ready to raise a glass and get a little tipsy? It’s time to celebrate Rosé Day!
And no, we’re not talking about the flower (although roses do make a lovely centerpiece).
We’re talking about that pink elixir of the gods, that refreshing wine that’s the perfect balance of red and white.
Get ready to raise your glasses and let the pink nectar of the gods flow freely.

A Rose by Any Other Name

First things first: what is rosé, exactly? Well, it’s a type of wine that’s made from red grapes, but with a twist.
During the winemaking process, the skins of the grapes are only left in contact with the juice for a short period of time, giving it that beautiful pink hue instead of turning it red like red wine.
It’s not as full-bodied as a red wine, but it’s not as light as a white either. It’s just right.
The name “rosé” comes from the French word for “pink,” and it’s often associated with summertime and relaxation.

But don’t be fooled, Rosé is not just a princess drink. It’s a versatile wine that can be enjoyed with almost any food, from grilled meats to fresh seafood.
Rosé wine can be made in several different styles, ranging from dry to sweet, and can be still, sparkling, or even fortified.
Rosé is the perfect drink for those who love the flavors of both red and white wines, and it’s perfect for those who can’t decide which to drink.

Rosé’s Personality

If Rosé had a personality, it would definitely be the life of the party. It’s bubbly, outgoing, and can adapt to any situation. It’s the friend who brings the party with them wherever they go.
Rosé is perfect for brunch with friends, a picnic in the park, or a fancy evening dinner.
It’s versatile, approachable, and always in style.
Rosé is the type of person you can always count on to bring the good vibes and make any occasion a little brighter.

The Origin of Rosé Day

Some say it started in France, the land of all things wine. Others say it was invented by a group of friends who just really, really liked pink wine.
But the truth is in the wine itself as Bodvar Hafström from House of Rosés created this holiday to celebrate this pink wine, and of course as a festive marketing campaign.
Whatever the case may be, Rosé Day takes place on the second Saturday in June, and it’s the perfect excuse to break out the pink wine and celebrate with friends.

Why Celebrate Rosé Day?

Why not celebrate Rosé Day?
It’s the perfect excuse to crack open a bottle (or five) and enjoy the warm weather.
Rosé has become synonymous with summer, and it’s not hard to see why.
This wine style is perfect for sipping on a hot day, and its refreshing qualities make it an excellent accompaniment to lighter fare.
It’s approachable, easy to drink, and comes in a variety of styles to suit any taste.
Plus, it’s just plain fun to drink pink wine!

Of course, there are some downsides to drinking rosé.
You might accidentally spill some on your white shirt (oops).
You might have a bit of a headache the next day (worth it).
And worst of all, you might fall in love with it and never want to go back to your old standby.
But hey, isn’t that the point?

It’s Time to Get Fizzy

If you want to celebrate Rosé Day in style, you of course start by having plenty of Rosé on hand!
Don’t be afraid to try something new, whether it’s a new brand of Rosé or a new way to serve it.
And importantly, make sure you’re surrounded by people you love, whether it’s your family, your friends, or your stuffed animals.

Check if you have:

A bottle (or five) of your favorite rosé.
Some cute glasses to drink it out of. Give them an extra polish to make them sparkle.
Some light snacks. Tapas, a cheese platter, a charcuterie board, pieces of fruit.
Pink decorations or pink napkins. Add some roses for good measure.

If you’re feeling fancy, you could plan a whole soirée around your Rosé Day celebrations.
Set up a snack table, decorate with pink balloons and flowers, dress in pink and maybe even put on some music to set the mood.
But if you’re more of a low-key kinda person, all you really need is a bottle and a big soft pillow to lounge on.

Safety Tips for Rosé Day

While Rosé Day is all about having fun, it’s important to keep safety in mind. Here are some tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable celebration:

Drink plenty of water and eat food while consuming alcohol.
If you’re planning on drinking, make sure you have a designated driver or alternative transportation arranged.
Take breaks between drinks and consider incorporating some light exercise into your celebration.
Keep pets away from any spilled wine, as it can be harmful to them.

Cheers to Rosé Day!

So go ahead, pop that cork and pour yourself a glass. And if anyone asks why you’re celebrating, just tell them Wild Calendar gave you permission to do so. After all, life is short, and we could all use a little more Rosé in our lives.
Happy Rosé Day, everybuddy!
