Wine expert Sam Caporn MW highlights that many people incorrectly associate darker rosé with lower quality and avoid adding ice, despite research showing that over half of Brits do not add ice to their rosé. New data from Aldi reveals that nearly a fifth of Brits always add ice to rosé, while others avoid it altogether. Caporn explains that adding ice can enhance the drinking experience by softening the wine's acidity and making it more refreshing. Additionally, the article notes that color plays a significant role in rosé selection, with many consumers rejecting bottles based on shade, leading to substantial financial losses in rejected rosé purchases annually. To address these issues, Aldi has introduced a limited-edition Rosé Sip Swatch, a color guide to assist consumers in choosing their preferred shade.
