With the rise in popularity of Rose Wines especially those of the province region,
A multitude of look-alike rose' have found their way into the markets, from wineries chasing the sales and to the wine region in which rose' have been traditionally made the style has shifted to mimic this of the Provance.

With my guest today Elizabeth Gabay MW we are exploring the effects of the rose sales growth and production and what controversiality she is seeing in the market.

From the standardization of Provence winemaking, which is turning into a double edged sword, to the producers outside this region with little to no experience producing Rose reading informational sheets.

With the rise of Rose production so is the need to increase the number of cooled tanks to produce them which has effects on the sustainability of the wineries and packaging.

We also talked about Champagne rose and what varieties Elizabeth is getting excited about.
