In the case of Beaujolais Nouveau, it is on the shelves between six to eight weeks after the grapes are harvested. Beaujolais Nouveau wine is very popularDespite not having the best reputation (imbuvable - undrinkable some say) There are some 25 million bottles of Beaujolais Nouveau produced each year. The festival is in Lyon where barrels of Beaujolais Nouveau wine are rolled by wine-growers through the centre before being opened. The Beaujolais wine takes its name from the historical Province of Beaujolais, the wine producing region to the north of Lyon. Part of the appeal of Beaujolais Nouveau wine is that in comparison to other vintages it's relatively affordable.
