Beaujolais Nouveau Festival in Tokyo
On
November 9, more than 100 men and women who love wine, in a very
special event and a very red festival in Tokyo, celebrated global
selling of the red wine Beaujolais Nouveau wine.
In this festival which
is held every year, on the last Thursday
of November, which is also named after the famous red wife Beaujolais
Nouveau, guests gather in a pool which is colored red and drink red
wine. Also, every day, 3 bottles of red wine are poured into the
swimming pool.
As the owners of the spa claim, the red wine pool can
make your body relax. Those who were participating this year’s festival,
had a moment of silence for those who were killed in the Paris attacks.
Beaujolais nouveau is a red wine made from Gamay grapes produced in the
Beaujolais region of France. It is the most popular vin de primeur,
fermented for just a few weeks before being released for sale on the
third Thursday of November.
This "Beaujolais Nouveau Day" used to see
heavy marketing, with races to get the first bottles to different
markets around the globe. Beaujolais nouveau is made from the Gamay noir
à Jus blanc grape, better known simply as Gamay. The grapes must come
from the Beaujolais AOC, with those of the ten "cru" appellations
excluded.
