Beaujolais Nouveau Day this week

The first wines of the 2018 vintage were released this Thursday with Beaujolais Nouveau Day.

The wines, with just a few weeks of fermentation, are certainly not the most exciting vintage but these simple fruity wines can give a lot of pleasure, especially enjoyed in countries such as Japan where it is still a popular tradition.

If you are desperate to try Beaujolais Nouveau there are a number of retailers in London offering sampling and tastings including Noble Rot, Totem Wines, Brixton's Salon Wine Store and the Farringdon Quality Chop House.
