Events have conspired, the plot has thickened and now I call on you to say “non” to only one-third of Beaujolais Nouveau this year!
As you may recall, last week I called on you to ditch Beajolais Nouveau this year because of the high carbon footprint of the wine. The rush to bring this proto-wine [...]
