If you're not a fan of rosé, you're probably just drinking it wrong

Rosé has long divided households between those who love it and those who just can't get behind the fruity pink wine.

But it turns out, the haters may have just been drinking it wrong this whole time.

Thankfully, wine experts have explained how to properly drink a glass of rosé.

While most of us tend to serve a bottle of pink wine cold, we could actually be ruining the flavour.

M&S Winemaker Belinda Kleinig told the Daily Mail serving rosé cold could actually be muting "its fruity flavours," as well as hiding some of those delicious aromas.

"The optimum temperature for enjoying rosé is between 7–13°C," she said. "Meaning it's best to take it out of the fridge about 15 minutes to half an hour before drinking so it isn't overchilled.

"That said, if it's a particularly warm day there is absolutely nothing wrong with adding a few ice cubes to your glass of rosé – even wine experts do this themselves!"

Kleinig added that on the other hand, drinking rose too warm can also ruin the experience by muting the fresh flavour and accentuating the bitterness.

Eric Hemer, the director of wine education for the largest US wine and spirits distributor, Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits, agreed that rosé is often misunderstood.

Hemer recommends drinking rose around 9 degrees Celsius, "cold but not ice-cold," he told Bustle.

He seconded Kleinig's justification, explaining that if the wine is too cold you won't be able to taste the lighter, fruiter notes it's best known for.
