You drink quite a European rose by Alma Valley - and suddenly this is the dill went.

With domestic rosé is important to take a bottle of the winery, which is already stuffed hand. Prices may be different - from 350 to 1000 rubles. And do not be afraid of bottles with the girls in the style of pin-up or a pink flamingo. The rule of "highly artistic labels - low-grade wine" to Russia does not apply.
