Great question! Orange wines are similar to rosés in that they also use some skin contact (the part of the winemaking process during which the skins of the grapes are in contact with the juice) to impart color and some tannins into the wine. The key difference is that orange wines use white wine grapes that don't contain nearly as much pigment, while rosé uses primarily red wine grapes.
Another witty and educational blog!
