" Summer drinking is all about sipping something cool while taking in the sun&amp;#039;s warmth and the rustle of the breeze in the trees (or the lapping of the waves if you&amp;#039;re lucky), and that&amp;#039;s why wine cocktails are such a perfect summer drink. Most wine cocktails use a chilled libation like ros\u00E9 or Prosecco as a base, making them a perfect counterpoint to the summer heat. And wine cocktails are usually less potent than traditional cocktails, so you can sit on the porch and drink with your friends all afternoon and still keep it together to go out for an amazing summer night.  1.
