Whether you’re hosting a sunny garden party or simply soaking up an evening on the patio, rosé is the ultimate warm-weather wine. We’ve rounded up five easy, refreshing, and oh-so-Instagrammable ways to enjoy rosé this spring and summer. Best of all? Each bottle is under £18 and widely available, so you can sip in style without breaking the bank.
1. Sparkling Rosé Float
Wine: Louis Couturier Crémant de Bordeaux Rosé – £10, Tesco
Serving suggestion: Pour this elegant sparkling rosé into a chilled flute, then add a spoonful of frozen strawberry sorbet. The delicate bubbles and red fruit aromas pair beautifully with the citrusy sweetness of the sorbet – it’s like dessert in a glass!
2. Rosé Sangria
Wine: Calvet Sancerre Rosé – £17.50, Waitrose
Serving suggestion: With its complex notes of red fruits and a smooth, lingering finish, this premium rosé is ideal as a base for sangria. Add orange slices, fresh berries, a splash of soda and a handful of mint for a chic twist on a summer classic.
3. Rosé & Raspberry Smash
Wine: Fleurs de Prairie Luberon Rosé – £10.50, Morrisons
Serving suggestion: Muddle fresh raspberries in a glass, pour over this generous and citrus-forward rosé, and garnish with mint. The vibrant berry and peach notes make for a fruity, flavour-packed cooler that’s perfect for al fresco sipping.
4. Frozen Rosé (Frozé!)
Wine: Calvet IGP Cap d’Agde Côtes de Thau – £9.25, Morrisons
Serving suggestion: Freeze this well-balanced, juicy rosé into ice cubes, then blend for instant frozé. Alternatively, drop the wine cubes into your glass for a chic way to keep your drink cold without diluting it.
5. Rosé Spritz (Alcohol-Free)
Wine: Nozeco Still Rosé – £5 (currently £4 on offer), Morrisons
Serving suggestion: Prefer to keep things booze-free? This light and lively rosé alternative is a winner. Pour over ice, top with soda water, and finish with a slice of grapefruit for a refreshing spritz that’s full of summer sparkle – no hangover required.
From pretty-in-pink pours to fruity fusions, there’s a rosé here for every palate and occasion. So dust off your deckchairs, chill your glasses, and get ready to rosé all day!
