The rosé segment of the wine market is now worth $46 million and Cellarmasters says it is the fastest growing wine variety across all categories, up an astonishing 58 per cent in the past 12 months.

“I love rosé and I was sick of going to restaurants and having 15 whites, 15 reds and two rosés on the menu,” owner Jerome Frederic Dubois said.
