Post Malone's Maison No. 9, French Riviera Rosé - rapper matches hype with rosé

There is something about the colour pink. The last decade has seen a marked increase in sales of all things pink and alcoholic. One in three bottles of wine sold in France these days is pink, sales of pink Champagne are booming, Rosé wine sales are increasing here every year and thankfully most men have rid themselves of any notion that there is anything ‘girly’ about drinking rosé.

Rosé sales are also increasingly youth driven with 18-35 year olds embracing the colour. Do be careful in choosing your pink however as for some larger producers such as Gallo and Blossom Hill a pink colour seems to be a licence to load up the wine with residual sugar.
