What does your rosé say about you?
Provençal rosé rarely invites conversations about what time in the morning the grapes are picked, or even what grapes are used. All anyone wants to know is: what colour is it? Any shade of pale pink with a gemlike clarity will do. Basically, is it 'nice rosé'?Exports from Provence — pink makes up 90 per cent of the region's wine output — have increased 500 per cent in 15 years, and the UK is one of the world's biggest importers: 12 million bottles in 2022, second only to the US. Last month Waitrose revealed it is mainly drunk at a particular time too — apparently rosé sales soar by 150 per cent when the temperature hits 20 rosé is now the accessible luxury statement drink that helps you semaphore who you are while getting gently pissed in the sun. But what does your choice say about you? First seen on the giant Chesterfields of Soho House, Lady A was created by the brand's founder, Nick Jones, as a 40th birthday gift for Markus Anderson, his global membership director (who is close friends with Meghan Markle). Made at Château La Coste, the art world's favourite vineyard, attached to Paddy McKillen's sculpture park in Aix-en-Provence, Lady A is also known as 'the one with the butterfly on it', drawn by Damien Hirst, no less. Its true loyalist is a city girl who knocks back a sneaky 125ml on her lunch break after a posh spin class. £19, Ott is an old wine estate and, until the premium rosé explosion of the late Noughties, was the most recognisable brand to anyone who had visited St Tropez, thanks to its skittle-shaped bottles. Now owned by Louis Roederer, it's still valued by the old guard, for whom rosé remains a strictly seasonal drink, only ever imbibed on yachts in the Med. £38, The Manchester United of nice rosé (its cult stretches from Cheshire to Dubai), this was the first to convince men that rosé was manly, hence the nickname 'brosé'. Blatant dupes abound, including Lidl's Breath of Paradise and Asda's Screaming Devil, while the Whispering Angel brand now includes The Beach for all-day drinking and the richer Rock Angel. (The estate's premium cru, Garrus, is loved by Lady Beckham.) £22.50, Made by a cool and credible winemaker outside Barcelona, the style is Provençalish. For the Ibiza regular who still yearns to be hip, this is a godsend because La Rosa is a rare beast: a gluggable, fancy-label beach-club pink with actual wine snob cred. This is spot-on for the self-conscious natural-wine-drinking hipster crowd. If you squint it could actually be orange. £22, In just five years Kylie has created a pink drink juggernaut: her signature rosé (£7) is the bestselling branded rosé in the UK and her wines are now available in 31 countries. It's all a big money win for Kylie, whose premium pink (£12, is proudly Provençal and pitches at a more discerning audience than, say, Dolly Parton's Dolly rosé (notes of, appropriately, dolly mixtures). It's the gateway to nice rosé — next stop Brad and Angelina's Miraval and a hook-up with a brosé drinker who works in biotech. This is the one for the British wine insider. Owned by a former director of Domaine Romanée-Conti in Burgundy (maker of some of the world's most valuable wines), this rosé has long been on the wine lists of every stylish restaurant, from the Notting Hill 'local' Dorian to high-grade rural pubs like Margot Henderson's Three Horseshoes in Batcombe, Somerset. It's entry into the nice rosé league comes via discerning hospitality staff, who quietly down it after serving wine to charmless Whispering Angel-drinking punters every evening. £15, • Read restaurant reviews and recipes from our food and wine experts Developed by a former JP Morgan banker, Rumor is a play to corner the actual — and aspiring — billionaire market. It has been cleverly crafted to tick every box: gluggable, with perfect acidity for all-day sipping, a pale pink so pretty it could be an F&B paint colour, and the mandatory minimalist gold label. Cornering the 'helicoptering in' set, it's exclusive to big money prestige joints like Hôtel du Cap and Estelle Manor. Won't appear in Tesco for some time. £27,

Ohio police officer gets naked Travis Kelce tattoo to win signed jersey, energy drinks
Nick Jones, 29, saw a contest on Instagram that would, quite literally, have an everlasting impact. Accelerator Energy challenged fans of Travis and Jason Kelce to get a Kelce-themed tattoo and pay homage to the energy drink with it. For Jones, who's covered in ink, that was no issue. So, the police officer in Napoleon, Ohio, got a tattoo of a naked Travis Kelce riding a flying Accelerator can, which Jason Kelce called a "10 out of 10." As the winner of the contest, Jones received 25 packages of Accelerator and a signed Travis Kelce jersey. "I didn't think they were actually serious. I messaged them, trying to see if they were for real about this offer. They were," Jones said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. "I'm covered in tattoos, so, I don't need too big of an excuse to get another one. But it comes with a great story. It's funny. It's goofy. I don't take myself too seriously, so it's just a funny tattoo, and the artist, Tara Farkus, with Pluto Tattoo Company, she killed it." Jones is a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan, who hails from the Kelces' home state of Ohio. Considering he could never root for Jason's Eagles, the Chiefs became an easy second choice. "I appreciate supporting fellow Ohioans. The Cowboys don't always do well in the playoffs, so I got to pick another team to root for. It's been the Chiefs, and I like the swag that Travis brings," Jones said. "And obviously, he's one of the best, maybe the best tight end. He kills it. I just love everything he brings." Jones was also able to swindle a Livvy Dunne T-shirt in his winnings as well — Dunne, too, is a partner with Accelerator, launching her own cotton candy-flavored drink. He claimed it was somewhat for his fandom of Paul Skenes, but don't count out a Livvy tattoo, Jones said. "You know what? Getting the chance to meet her? The guys at my force may be a little more understanding with a Livvy Dunne tattoo," he said. Jones is now, quite literally, a walking advertisement. But it's all worth it. "I didn't expect it to go viral like this, but hey. They were able to make the offer. They've lived up to their end of the bargain, and they've been great to work with," Jones said. "So I have no problem being part of the Accelerator Active Energy family forever now. They've been great. It tastes great, so it's an easy product to represent as well."
