Meiomi Rose is silky and has high acidity. We find it pairs very well with a variety of dishes including those salty.
Classic appetizers are prosciutto San Daniele, roasted beet, salad, and vegetable dips to name some.
Meat-wise, go with white meat dishes like chicken for example.
For fish, we recommend halibut fish tacos and crab cakes.
If you are a cheese lover you should try it with soft and creamy cheeses like Philadelphia and Brie.
What's Meiomi Rose's alcohol content?
Meiomi Rose wine’s alcohol content is 13.9%.
In case you wonder about alcohol content or more precisely Alcohol By Volume, i.e. ABV, measure the alcoholic strength of a drink.
There is a direct relationship between the sugar left in the wine after the alcoholic fermentation has taken place, i.e. Residual Sugar or RS, and ABV.
During alcoholic fermentation, the yeast transforms the sugar in the grape juice into alcohol.
Grapes with high residual sugar will therefore produce dry wine with a high ABV.
How many calories are in a glass of Meiomi Rose wine?
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture [1] a 5-ounce glass will contain about 120 to 130 calories.
Alcohol contains 7 calories per gram. So a wine with high ABV will have a higher calories per glass than a wine with low ABV.
Furthermore, sugar contributes to the calorie count.
A dry wine will usually have 4 calories per grams vs a sweet wine that will have around 20 calories per grams of carbs, which include sugar.
What is Meiomi?
