Virgin Wines' current favourite Rose, Les Arbousiers Coteaux du Languedoc Cinsault

Rowan Gormley, Founder and CEO of Virgin Wines said: "We have seen sales of Rose
increase significantly over the last five years. And whereas Rose sales used to
peak in the summer months and again at Christmas, the evidence is that Rose is
increasingly being enjoyed at all times throughout the year."
