An article about rose wine and new regulations that some might find interesting. I'm proud of the Washington Post for not using my cheap cliche in their headline.

Never, they cried, can you mix a bucket of red wine into a barrel of white and call it ros.

Tell that to the Champenois.

IANAO, hence, can someone say whether I recall correctly?: there are 3 ways to make pink wine -- mix red+white, use the saignee runoff, and short skins exposure.

You're correct. A fourth way might be to take a gris grape and give it extended skin contact. Or is that a recipe for orange wine instead?

fontsainte's corbiere rose is a gris de gris. (i don't know how they make it.)
