Happy Beaujolais Nouveau Day ...

... to all ABers.

And everyone, really.

Beaujolais lunch today.

Do they still race to get the first supplies to London?

[joggerjayne]

No

[sandyRoe]

I suppose the chunnel has taken the possibility of drama out of the equation

Enjoy! :-)

In the fun old days, BN was not released until midnight. Then everyone (we did it once or twice) threw a box in the back of a sports car and raced back to Calais to get the earliest ferry.

Now, it's shipped in advance, and just held in storage until midnight.

Shame, really. It was quite a jolly tradition.

I believe the RAF put the mockers on that when they transported some by Harrier jump jet!

[joggerjayne]

Blackadder, that has to be slightly cheating.

This merits a cake from the dtc bakery - and, yes, there is a Beaujolais cake out there.

Was/is it a thin, light, almost watery, wine?

[joggerjayne]

Sandy, yes

[joggerjayne]

Lovely cake, DT X

This sine isn't so easy to get these days as it used to be. The Co-op and Tesco don't sell it any more, and last year I could only find it in M+S. But I shall try again tomorrow.

For sine read wine !....I must remember to put my contact lens in as soon as I get up !

[joggerjayne]

Waitrose had it last year. But most places seem to buy a small supply, and sell out quite quickly.

[Old_Geezer]

Well it won't be so Nouveau tomorrow.

Interesting related question starters

[mikey4444]

Waitrose ? In South Wales ?...about as rare as hens teeth ( or Tory voters perhaps ! )

Okay okay, so I like Beaujolais.

Best Answer to OG for being observant.

[joggerjayne]

There must be Waitroses in South Wales, mustn't there?

[mikey4444]

JJ...My nearest one is either Barry or Abergavenny, both 50 miles away !

Now if Lidl sold Beaujolais Nouveau ............... !

Actually, considering the high quality of the wines they do sell, it would go amiss if they did !
