Some recently released wine sales data is making the rounds today, and it confirms what most thirsty Washingtonians already know: we really like sipping rosé. The report from online retailer Wine Access found that the District consumes the most rosé per capita in the U.S.— and eight times more than California*. So, congratulations?

*Per usual, we note that this report compares D.C. to states rather than cities, so take it with a grain of salt, or rosé-colored glasses.

According to Wine Access, rosé now makes up one out of every 36 bottles it sells. That’s up from one out of every 510 bottles sold in 2015 for a hefty 1,400 percent increase. These data give only a snapshot of the larger landscape, but the findings are certainly in line with overall trends. Just look around the shops and bars here in and around the city. Rosé has been gripping D.C. all season.

Pink wine madness has spread from the aisles of Whole Foods to pop-up garden bars and special menus, all peddling the easy-drinking wine. Crowds have been thick all summer at places like Whaley’s (301 Water St. SE), with it’s pink-accented rosé garden, and wine bars menus have been leaning heavily on it as well. The soon-to-open District Winery (385 Water St. SE) has bottles of its (currently) Brooklyn-made rosé ready to pour.

The Wine Access analysis also found some political leanings to wine purchases, noting that “…politically, red states are less open to imported wines than their Democratic counterparts. Twice as many blue states prefer imported wines over domestic wines.” It turns out even wine can be a partisan issue if you make it one.

Oh, and a reminder that, should you find yourself with extra bottles of rosé (or any variety for that matter), you can always store it in this zombie-proof underground storage facility out in Van Ness.
