Celebrate National Rosé Day on June 10th with Philadelphia’s finest offerings.
Rosé wine has a long history, dating back thousands of years to ancient times. However, its prominence in the United States is attributed to various factors. In the early 2000s, a growing interest in lighter, fruit-forward wines and rosé fit that profile perfectly. Additionally, social media platforms played a significant role in popularizing rosé as influencers and celebrities began sharing their experiences with the wine, further fueling its appeal. National Rosé Day is a celebration dedicated to the enjoyment of this libation. The holiday has recently gained popularity as rosé wine has experienced a surge, becoming a symbol of summer and leisure. The holiday typically falls on the second Saturday in June, making it a perfect occasion to embrace the warm weather and toast with a glass of chilled rosé.
