Beaujolais Nouveau Day is marked in France on the third Thursday in November with fireworks, music, and festivals. Under French law, the wine is released at 12:01 a.m., just weeks after the wine’s grapes have been harvested. Parties are held throughout the country and further afield to celebrate the season’s first wine.
Beaujolais Nouveau – that much-ballyhooed cherry-red coloured vintage best served chilled – is not for wine snobs. This fresh and fruity red results from a quick fermentation process that ends up with a tasty, clean wine enjoyed by palates the world over.
The Gamay grapes that go into Beaujolais Nouveau are handpicked in the Beaujolais province of France. The wine originated about a century ago as a cheap and cheerful drink produced by locals to celebrate the end of the harvest season.
