The sale of Beaujolais nouveau, a new wine from France, was lifted around the world on the 18th, and citizens celebrated the new wine in Paris, the capital of France.

Beaujolais Nouveau is a new wine made from grapes harvested that year in the Beaujolais district of central France, and its sale was lifted on the 18th in various parts of the world including Japan.
In response to this, a wine bar in Paris held an event to celebrate the new sake, and the gathered citizens enjoyed it while checking the color and aroma of the new sake.
Last year, due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, these events could not be held, and the women who participated said, "I am happy to get together again and enjoy wine. This year's Beaujolais nouveau is very sweet and fruity. It's easy. "
According to the organization that supports the export of Beaujolais Nouveau, the wine production in the Beaujolais area has decreased by about 30% compared to the previous year.
According to the French government, domestic wine production is expected to decrease by 23% compared to the previous year, which is the lowest in 50 years. It means that it has an influence.
Due to the decrease in production volume, many producers have been forced to raise prices, which has affected the selling price.
