​Winemakers should be warned that this summer much of the rose that they produce could wind up mixed with slushy ice t0 become something called a Frose by the trendies who have been drinking it by the barrel overseas.
According to Drinks Business the sales of rose by one of the major British  retailers have risen by a whopping 104 percent on the back of the latest craze which is believed to have originated in New York.
To make it, rosé is frozen for seven hours with lemon juice and sugar then blended into a boozy, rose-hued Slush Puppie and garnished with mint.
New York hotspot Primi, which claims to have created the drink, goes even further, including vermouth and pureed strawberries In the mix.
Hot off the press: Rosé is now the most popular wine style in the UK ahead of Prosecco.
