Yep… this years shipments of Beaujolais Nouveau have arrived.

As usual, a lot of Japanese will buy the stuff, ‘just because everyone else does, and it’s the in thing to do for the New Year’… despite the fact that in my humble opinion, it tastes like shit! ;)

Ahhh, I guess those French vineyards have once again managed to shift all the crappy wine onto the Japanese, whilst they keep all the good stuff to themselves, and sent the 2nd rate stuff (but still not bad in many cases) to us in the UK and other countries.
