Rose Storage

May a bottle of unopened Rose be taken out of the refrigerator and stored in a wine rack?
Answer From Expert Roger Bohmrich MW

You may want to look over past questions about moving wine back and forth between a refrigerator and rack. In short, there is absolutely nothing to worry about, and particularly when it comes to a rosé, which is to be enjoyed for the pure pleasure of its color and fruit while still very young - and not kept for a long time with extremely rare exceptions.
