Champagne · France
Dom Perignon Rose
We stock it because it is the top of the gifting range. At this price the buyer is not comparing bottles, and there are perhaps three names that qualify.

The range
Rosé
Rosé from pale Provençal-style dry through to the sweeter Australian pink styles, plus sparkling rosé and rosé Champagne.
Dry or sweet is the only question that really matters here, and it is not obvious from the colour — a pale rosé can be off-dry and a deeper one bone dry. Each listing says which.
7bottles. Every one with a reason written against it.

South Eastern Australia
Tread Softly Rose
We stock it because it is number six in the state and it is the only line in this entire range whose argument is something other than price, grape or place - and because that argument is checkable, which is the test everything on this site has to pass.

Tatachilla White Admiral Rose
We stock it because it is number five in the state and the cheapest rose here that is not a leftover, and because it holds the entry price point in a category where the entry price point does most of the volume.

Marlborough · New Zealand
Upside Down Rose
We stock it because it is number four in the state, and because rose is bought for a table of people more often than for one person - the price per bottle matters more here than it does anywhere else in this range.

De Bortoli Rose Rose
We stock it because it is number three in the state and the highest-ranked Australian rose here, and because a category led by a New Zealand bottle and a French one needs a local answer.

Rhone Valley · France
La Vieille Ferme Rose
We stock it because it is number two in the state and because it is the least expensive wine on this shelf made by a family whose top wine sells for two hundred dollars - the same cellar, the everyday bottle.

Squealing Pig Rose
We stock it because it holds 10.06% of the New South Wales rose segment on its own and is number one nationally, which makes it the single most dominant wine in this range after the champagne.
