(Wine Searcher) - It's International Rosé Day, and we are just as excited about it as you are ...

Of all the spurious "International X Day" celebrations that have sprung up around wine, you could argue that International Rosé Day is by far the most successful.

Perfectly timed to fall in summer, it attracts far more media attention that perhaps rosé production figures warrant; their number is far outweighed by their impact. That impact, however, might be reaching a ceiling; looking through the rankings of rosé wines suggests that there might be something of a blockage in the pipeline. 

Is it really a year since I last sat down to this task? Can 12 long months really have elapsed since we looked at the most searched-for rosés? You'll forgive my disbelief, because looking through this year's list triggered a vivid case of déjà vu.

Not alone is the entire list virtually identical, but the order is too. In fact, there are only two new entrants in the list – Jon Bon Jovi's strangely named Diving into Hampton Water replaces Robert Sinskey's Vin Gris of Pinot Noir, while former French rugby international Gérard Bertrand's Cote des Roses takes Suscaru's spot.
