Everything You Need To Know About Orange Wine, Explained
Here's why you should sip on this trendy wine all summer long.
We’re officially entering spritz season. In fact, we even named one particular spritz the drink of the summer. Other people opt for bottles of refreshing white and rosé wine when the weather heats up. But if you live in a bigger city or spend time with younger drinkers, there’s a good chance that you’ve seen people sipping orange wine in the summer.
Orange wine is one of the most popular topics in the wine world right now. And depending on who you ask, they either love it or hate it. It’s often conflated with the larger category of natural wine, but there’s a lot that makes this wine distinct. It can vary in color from pastel orange to a deep copper. There's a wide range of flavors and styles to choose from, too. If you're hesitant to try it, don't be! There's truly an orange wine for everyone.
We chatted with Sam Hueker, Manager of Customer Experience and Wine Clubs at SommSelect, about the origins, flavors, and misconceptions about this trendy category. We're laying out all the information you need (including bottle recs) so you can shop confidently and enjoy orange wine all summer long.
