CHICAGO, June 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- This Saturday, social media will be inundated with #roséallday social media posts with the celebration of National Rosé Day. The popularity of rosé, however, is not contained to just one day – more like all year. According to data from SPINS, a wellness-focused data technology company and passionate advocate for the Natural and Specialty Products Industry, wine sales (non-liquor store) are up 2.3% year over year with rosé leading the category's growth, up 13.3% to reach a $704.9 million annual market.

Certain other wine types represent a greater dollar volume than rosé, such as red wine (up 1.4% to $5.7 billion), white wine (up 0.5% to $4.2 billion), and sparkling wine (up 7.3% to $1.0 billion), but rosé's got them all beat in terms of dollar gains with an additional $82.6 million in sales over the prior year.

As temperatures climb in summer months, so do rosé's sales, ascending to a peak of $66.1 million in sales over just four weeks (mid-June to mid-July 2018) and reporting 17.8% growth over the same period in the prior year.

"Rosé is said to be the oldest type of wine but has become more popular lately, thanks in part to a strong social media presence," said Irina Mazur, president of Product Intelligence at SPINS. "Will rosé's popularity continue? Only time will tell, and we are keeping a pulse on the alcohol market to discover the latest adult-beverage trends and where the market is heading."
