Despite these uncertain times, we do know one thing is for certain: The rosé trend is still going strong. A beverage that can be dressed up or down for virtually any setting or occasion, rosé wine is our go-to choice for everything from happy hour to Mother's Day gifting to weekend brunch.
For this list, we're sticking to dry rosé varieties (as opposed to sweeter options), because a dry rosé has the acidity of white wine but the fruit character of red, making it one of the easiest and most food-friendly wines. From pairing with rich and creamy cheese dishes to fresh seafood, grilled chicken, pizza, and flatbread, you really can't go wrong. In other words: Rosé is a versatile, refreshing, and budget-friendly wine for virtually any occasion or season.
With so many options on wine stores' shelves, we took it upon ourselves to painstakingly taste-test different brands to ensure we're providing quality picks in our list of best rosé wines. And, oh yeah, they're all $25 and under.
Summer Water deserves a spot on our list as one of the most drinkable, approachable, and damn delicious rosé options out there. Crisp, dry, and with enough acidity to cut through its juicy watermelon notes, this versatile wine is perfect for spring.
