When you take a look around at wine hampers, you will notice that many of them include a bottle of white, red, or even one of each. Some wine gifts include a bottle of rosé along with a selection of delicious foods. If you want to send a rosé wine hamper gift for Christmas or any other occasion, but you’re not sure if the recipient will enjoy it, you can quite simply consider the types of foods they enjoy.
A light dry rosé is much like a dry white. This means that they are best paired with meals like salads, rice, light pastas, and lightly cooked seafood. A light, off-dry rosé is best served with a light salad, rice dish, or curry dishes with mild spices.
Medium dry rosés are best suited for the same foods as the light dry rosé but many people who love this wine prefer to pair it with their dessert or even with some delicious curry. A medium bodied dry rosé is wonderfully versatile and it can hold up really well against some of the most potent flavours. It can be pared with lamb, chicken, fish, and even some delicious Spanish paella. If enjoyed with a platter, you can serve it with sheep cheese and ham.
Fruity rosés are very popular and they are a lovely pairing for seafood with a dominant or rich flavour such as tuna or lobster. It is also an excellent wine to serve with duck and varieties of cheese that have a white rind such as Camembert or Brie.
A full-bodied fruity rosé has a higher alcohol content which makes them best paired with spicy foods like curry. You can even enjoy it with a barbecue.
Not only are these tips great for when you are shopping for the perfect rosé gift, but it’s also good to know what to serve your guests when you plan on serving a particular type of rosé.
