Default Blush wine vs. Rosé

Called by many names "pink wine" can be made from a number of methods
1. A very short skin contact when fermenting red skinned grapes
2. Blending a red and white wine together, eg. adding 9% Merlot to say
Riesling.
3. Even certain white grapes when given an extra skin contact e.g. Pinot
Gris will cause a blush wine.
However in the wine kits its probably a small amount of red base concentrate
added to a white base concentrate, than ran through the pasteurizor prior to
packaging.
