Ready for the summer? Ready for Rose wine?

I believe it is only in Sweden where a bunch of guys can sit outside during the hot summer weather dressed in sun glasses, tight shirts, little bit too much of wax in the hair and just a bit of attitude drinking rose wine. I had a few clients of mine from Chile working for one of the best wineries from that region asking us: why are there so many guys sitting outside drinking rose? Is there a lot of hm...in Sweden?

All I could say is that: 
- well guys in Sweden are quite confident in their sexuality and people in Sweden love there rose wine during the summer. It is a must in Sweden and we love our summer rose. At the clubs, restaurants, during pick nick and especially in the lovely sunny days on the terrace enjoying our short period of Swedish summer.

Western Taste would like to recommend some of our favorite rose wines. We hope you like it!
