I've heard that there are about eight to ten thousand varieties of grapes grown today.  It's odd that they come in just two colors - red and white (which is actually more of a pale, yellow/green).

So how is something like a Rose' wine made?  Are there pink grapes growing somewhere we don't know about?  No.  Rose' wine is made by removing the red grape skins from the fermenting juice after a short period of time.  The "leftover" skin produces the pinkish color.  You could blend a white and red grape for the same effect, but it's really not the same.

Rose' has traditionally been a summer or warm-weather drink, but that's not the case any more!  So if you like the lighter Rose' wine - drink up!   Below is a link to an article I stumbled across on the most popular Rose' wines.  CHEERS!!
