With all the respect due to, uhm, more mature developers, you'll note
that:

a) I didn't mention white zin (I didn't even think of it, because I
   don't think of it),

b) when you live in central Texas (as I do), during the summer (which is
   to say about eight months of the year, sometimes more) you might
   _just_ bring yourself to drink rosé if it's chilled -- _certainly_ if
   the alternative is red wine, even in the late evening,

and

c) the real reason for mentioning rosé was to breach the subject of
   non-ASCII options.
