What the hell is going with rose wine?

submitted by Conspirologist to AskGoats 1.8 yearsJul 10, 2023 07:43:59 ago (+4/-4)     (AskGoats)

I'm trying brands of rose wine, and they are all sweet. It's impossible to drink sweet wine in summer. Still can't find any brand that's not sweet. Anybody knows why suddenly all rose wine is sweet?

And Little Debbie Star Crunches used to be 40% larger.

What's with that?

Pro tip: combine red & white wine to make your own rosé.

Rosé can be sweet or dry. Those called 'Old World' rosés, which come from Europe, are typically very dry. Rosés from the 'New World', which are from outside Europe, are usually sweeter and fruitier. The variety of grape, local climate and methods of production contribute to these differences.[Library Service]

old world is brand recognition trying to keep it the same. New world is just trying to sell goyslop. People like sweet so we make it sweet

I work at a winery. Sweet rose's sell more and marketing people tell all the wineries that so they react and do what they are told. They do this with cap colours too, they tell everyone a certain colour does best then everyone switches and then that colour no longer does best so unless a brand keeps theirs the same always you will notice the rest shifting the same way.

We had a rose go too dry and it was nice and we sweetened it with juice( we are organic and freeze some juice pre ferment to add sugar later). It is just what boomer white women buy so that is what we make. We do this sort of thing for all our wines except the favourite of the owners( merlot) which we make to our own tastes.

Because women drink it, sugar is addictive, and women are weird, dude.
