For thepast 30 years we have had plenty of cheap, generic rose, but now a new, seriouswine category with complexity and challenges is beginning to appear. ElizabethGabay's pioneering book, Rose: Understanding the pink wine revolution is thefirst expert guide to the rose market as it is today and to where it is going.Gabaybegins with a history of rose. Its rising commercial popularity during the past30 years has been a success story, but it hasn't necessarily helped to raiserose's image as a quality wine. In the cellar not only has there been anenormous leap over the past 10 years in the quality of rose produced, but alsoa growing number of producers are experimenting with different styles, allpink, but different. Viticulture has developed for rose wine production, andGabay shows how production for premium roses is moving from the harvesting ofunripe grapes (for the essential acidity) to planting at higher altitudes andnorth-facing slopes. She analyses the economics of rose production and the roleof Provence as a catalyst for change, before discussing other French roses andpink wines from around the world.Elizabeth Gabay isarguably the world's leading authority on pink wine and Rose: Understanding thepink wine revolution is essential reading for wine professionals, students andcollectors as well as serious wine lovers and wine tourists.
