Most wine merchants and supermarkets have a fair selection of cheap and cheerful rosés from both old and New World producers. At the HK$50-$70 per bottle level you get, most decidedly, what you pay for, but just a few dollars more will take you into the area of still very reasonably priced but much better made easy drinking wines.
Try Turkey Flat Rosé from the Barossa Valley. It is full of summer fruit character, and robust enough to work with food as well as being an easy drinking aperitif.
Portugal’s rosés are still to some extent tarred with the Mateus Rosé/Lancers brush, but the country now makes some serious pink wines. One of the most impressive of many on display at Vinexpo was the CARM rosé from the Douro region, an area traditionally associated with port but increasingly also with fine wine production.
