Rosé Tuesdays at Autopoul: A Nordvest Summer Tradition

This summer, I accidentally stumbled into a little tradition.

Autopoul has been running their “Rosé Tuesdays” most of the season — 2 glasses for 100 DKK. My friend and I tried it once, then a second time, and before we knew it, we had been back at least four or five Tuesdays. Always with the same order (our favorite rosé, the green one), always with the same intention: just spending time together.

At first, it was about the event itself — enjoying a good deal on wine and trying something different mid-week. But it quickly became something else. Those evenings stretched out into 5 or 6 hours of catching up on life, taking turns getting the next glass, and watching the sun slowly sink over Nordvest. Sometimes colleagues joined, sometimes neighbors, sometimes it was just the two of us.

It stopped being about the price (honestly, if we’d calculated it, we should have just ordered a bottle). What mattered was the excuse — if you even need one — to meet, to talk, to remake the world in conversation. We shifted from meeting straight after work (too risky for Wednesday fatigue and hangovers) to after dinner, giving ourselves long, cozy nights without worrying too much about the morning after.

That’s what I’ll miss when Autopoul soon closes for the winter. Rosé Tuesdays weren’t really about rosé or even Tuesdays — they became about carving out time for connection: Talking about work, relationships, everyday frustrations, or random ideas. By the end of the night, I always felt lighter and ready to take on the rest of the week.

With Autopoul soon closing for the winter, I’m already thinking about where to continue these long, easy evenings of conversation.
