"65 million bottles of it are drunk in the weeks after its release" because it's overhyped cheap plonk. Give me some of that goddamned Cru Beaujolais from Fleurie or Julienas instead.

"most sommeliers can't tell shit." Such erudition! Such a way with words! Such obvious intelligence! You must certainly know what you're talking about... fool.

"wine tasting is a sham." Sure it is... that's why a trained Sommelier can tell the difference between two wines grown in adjoining vineyards. "Vin de merde." Uh huh... that's why 65 million bottles of it are drunk in the weeks after its release.hat gets t "Beaujolais Nouveau hangovers are legendary." It's the alcohol that gets to you, and Beaujolais Nouveau is about 2% lower in alcohol than those fruit-bomb California monsters that pass for wine. Any other misconceptions you'd like to out out there?

If you drink more than a glass, keep the aspirin handy. Beaujolais Nouveau hangovers are legendary.
