One of the fantastic things about drinking Beaujolais Nouveau is that wine snobs won't come within 50 feet of it. So, you have the pleasure of performing all sorts of wine sacrilege on it. Drink it on the rocks, out of a plastic cup, with a straw, straight out of the bottle if you want. There's a whole website devoted to drinking the "wine without rules", including tips on throwing a Beaujolais Nouveau arrival party. http://www.wineweekly.com/wine-basics/beaujolais-nouveau-answers/

It's this anti-elitist trick again: every time you refuse to consume the rubbish one wants to sell you, some clever marketer comes up saying you're a snob. "Ne te courbe que pour aimer..." René Char
"Beaujolais Nouveau is not a wine to sniff, swirl, and contemplate; it's a wine to pour and party with."
I just had some - no worse than a lot of French wines I've paid a lot more for - yes, I know, I should seek better advice each time. Often I just choose an Australian wine :-) Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice. Blog - Nice Experience
