Summer Sips: The Top 5 Wines to Enjoy on a Hot Day
Summer is here and what better way to enjoy the sun than with a refreshing glass of wine? Whether you're lounging by the pool or having a picnic with friends, these top 5 wines are perfect for any hot summer day.
1. Rosé
Rosé is a classic summer wine for good reason. It's light, refreshing, and goes well with just about any food you can think of. Plus, it's versatile enough to have a range of flavors, from dry to sweet. Our top pick is a crisp and dry rosé from Provence, France.
2. Sauvignon Blanc
If you prefer white wine, then a Sauvignon Blanc is the way to go. This wine is known for its crisp acidity and fruity notes, making it a great pairing with seafood or a light summer salad. Our favorite is a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with tropical fruit flavors and a bright finish.
3. Pinot Noir
For those who prefer red wine, a Pinot Noir is a great option for summer. It's lighter in body than other reds and has a good balance of fruit and acidity. It's perfect for a summer evening barbecue or a picnic in the park. We recommend a Pinot Noir from Oregon with notes of cherry and vanilla.
4. Prosecco
Nothing says summer quite like a glass of bubbly Prosecco. This Italian sparkling wine is light, refreshing, and perfect for a hot summer day. And the best part? It's affordable, so you can stock up on a few bottles for your next summer gathering. Our top pick is a Prosecco from the Veneto region with floral and citrus notes.
5. Sangria
If you want something a little different than straight wine, then Sangria is the way to go. This fruity wine punch is perfect for summer parties and gatherings. You can make your own with your favorite red or white wine, fruit, and brandy or triple sec. Or, you can opt for a pre-made bottle like our favorite, a Spanish red wine Sangria with hints of cinnamon and orange.
No matter what your wine preference is, these top 5 wines are sure to quench your thirst and keep you cool on a hot summer day. Grab a bottle or two, invite your friends, and enjoy the sunshine. Cheers!
