Sales of rosé buck the falling trend in UK wine sector

Rosé wine is providing some welcome good news for the UK wine industry, with sales up 3% in volume and 5% in value to reach £882 million over the last 12 months. The Wine and Spirit Trade Association's latest report shows that rosé is no longer just a summer drink, with steady sales throughout the year, including strong winter performance around Christmas. It's a stark contrast to the struggling red and white wine sectors, which have seen volumes fall by 6% and 4% respectively, making rosé a much-needed bright spot for producers and retailers dealing with rising costs and regulatory pressures.
