THINK pink for National Rose Day on Sunday, June 12.

Rose wine is proving more popular than ever before. Along with the hordes of summer swillers who reach for rose on hot, sunny days, the launch of celebrity rose from the likes of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have helped spur the rose boom.

“The rise in celebrity rose wines has sparked a trend amongst millenials for the aspirational ‘Posh Pink’ - often lighter and sometimes more expensive styles such as those from Provence,” says Elizabeth Newman, Sainsbury’s head of beers, wines and spirits.

For those wanting to try a splash of pink, here are some top picks:

1.Taste the Difference Cotes de Provence Rose 2015, France (£8, Sainsbury) certainly looks the part in its classic, corset-shaped bottle and this garden party pleaser is most often bought with smoked salmon and party food. A brilliant light pink with freshness and fragrance, the delightful fruit flavours and soft, well-balanced acidity rivals more expensive producers in quality.

2. Marks & Spencer have an equally delicious own label Provencal pink in the curvaceous shape of Coteaux Varois en Provence Rose 2015, France (£8.50). Fresh, dry and fruity, with red berry aromas, refined flavours of strawberries and white fruit with a delicate and lively finish.

3. If you’re in the mood to double the pleasure, M&S are stocking Miravel Rose 2015, Cotes de Provence (£38, 150cl,) in magnum form - worth getting your hands on before it sells out. Especially if you haven’t tasted the Jolie-Pitt’s rose yet, which is silky and elegant with summer berries, ripe tangerine and herb flavours that show some power on the long, luxurious finish.

4. A pretty pale pink, La Vieille Ferme Rose 2015, Southern Rhone, France (£6.99, The Co-operative) is also made by the Perrin family of winemakers who produce Miravel. Beautiful and bright, it has subtle notes of wild strawberries and citrus notes with raspberry and dried cherry fruits.

5. With its beguiling sunset colour, Pillastro Rosato 2015, Puglia, Italy (£7.99 from £9.49 during June, laithwaites.co.uk) is a brilliant effort from this award-winning producer. Their first rose vintage, it’s fresh and vibrant with cherry and raspberry fruits, some citrus accents and spice on the juicy finish.

6. A delicious interpretation from the oldest winery in Italy, you can’t go wrong with a bottle of Barone Ricasoli Albia Rose 2015, Tuscany, Italy (£9.99, robertsandspeight.co.uk). A fragrant coral pink with nuances of blackberries and raspberries on the nose, it’s well structured with cherry tart, plums and strawberries, supported by good minerality on the crisp finish.

7. Available by the case and an exciting new addition to their own label range to meet the demand for Provencal rose, Berry Bros & Rudd Provence Rose, France (£161.70, case of 6, bbr.com) is a pale coral pink. There’s a citrusy twist to the wild berry flavours, peach and spice with fennel and herbs, and crisp acidity on the savoury finish.
