Rose Wine for Delivery or Pickup

Great Rosé varietals come from nearly every wine region in the world. It's one of the most popular varieties of wine, and people seem to enjoy the depth and breadth of this beverage. The most common Rosés have the crispness of a white with a touch of fruitiness you'd expect from a red. They're fun and refreshing, especially in the summer. Rosé doesn't always deliver a cerebral experience either, making it an ideal choice when you want to keep your celebration light.

Vintners make this familiar pink wine by straining the red grape juice before it becomes too dark. This process results in a clean, refreshing option that hits many points a white wine may miss. Some oenophiles describe it as zingy, citrusy, and juicy, and it's available in both sparkling and still varieties. 

When you drink pink, it has as much complexity and pairing power as your favorite reds because this collection of libations vary widely in intensity and sweetness. The way Rosés react with food is quite exceptional. It pairs beautifully with everything from grilled meats to fish. Serve it with a fruit and cheese platter or a large summer salad. 

Which type of Rosé should you try? Even if you appreciate a bold, savory vintage over a fruit-forward blush, there's a pink for you. It comes in many different shades for your palate, from a sweet Italian Sangiovese to a savory Tempranillo from Spain's Rioja region.

A Provence Rosé is equally at home at a barbeque as it is on a formal dining room table. Its fresh, crisp, dry style makes a perfect partner for a juicy burger or a tender filet mignon. A floral Mourvèdre from southern France comes in a pale coral hue. Connoisseurs describe this varietal as fuller-bodied than many other Rosés, like the classic Pinot Noir Rosé. This delicate fruit produces earthy but elegant wines.

Take advantage of these helpful tips for picking out the best Rosé for you and your occasion:

1. Look for an age-worthy label.

Most people prefer to drink their Rosés young. Traditionally the shelf life of a bottle of Rosé is only two to five days. If you want to stash a bottle of the good stuff to enjoy at a later date, pick an age-worthy variety and cellar it up to two years.

2. Watch your pennies.

You don't have to scrimp to save for a sophisticated Rosé. You can swoop up a bottle of L'Auratae Terre Siciliane Rosé for under $10 on sale when you order via Instacart. However, if you're shopping for a special occasion, such as a retirement celebration, you could budget as much as $400 for a premier bottle of Rosé Champagne, like Fleur de Miraval Exclusivement.

3. Save time.

Finding the ideal bottle of wine can be time-consuming, but not when you order your bottle of Rosé from Instacart. Streamline your purchase based on your preferences. You can dial in your ideal delivery times, retail locations, and category to quickly narrow down your choice of Rosés.
