This is the 2010 label for the Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau. The 2011 vintage will be released Thursday.
One minute past midnight Thursday one of the most frivolous and fun rituals in the world kicks off in the Beaujolais region of France when vintners open bottles of this year's Beaujolais Nouveau, or wines of the new harvest.
By the time the celebration is over, more than 65 million bottles of Beaujolais Nouveau will have been distributed and consumed around the world.
Beaujolais Nouveau wines are light and fruity reds meant to be consumed now. They are made from the gamay grape and are best served lightly chilled.
The wines are inexpensive, usually $10 to $13 a bottle, and go well with holiday dinners and party foods. Those who don't like red wines often find the Beaujolais Nouveau appealing.
Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau will be the most common label in Tulsa stores. Two other brands, Laboure Roi and Mommessin, will have limited availability.
