France welcomed the new Beaujolais Nouveau in the early hours of Thursday, opened as always at midnight. In central Paris, small crowds gathered in a local bar to taste the young wine with plates of cold cuts and oysters.<\/p>\n

Beaujolais can only carry the name if it comes from one of the 85 towns stretching from Lyon to M\u00e2con, a vineyard area of about 31,000 acres. France remains the main market, buying around nine million bottles a year, while about one hundred countries also import it.<\/p>\n

For winemakers and restaurant owners, the November release is above all a simple and friendly moment that puts their work in the spotlight and brings people together around an easy, cheerful wine.<\/p>\n
