summer wine

Warm-weather fermented drink

Summer wine is light, refreshing wine meant to be drunk chilled in warm weather—typically whites, rosés, or sparkling wines with lower alcohol and crisp acidity.

The term evokes leisurely outdoor drinking: We picked up a summer wine for the picnic.

It also names a sweet, fruit-flavored wine popular as an inexpensive choice.
