Well yes the French sort of take the Beaujolais Nouveau seriously. Everybody says how it's just a marketing exercise (which it is, there's côte de Rhone primeur in the shops as I type but no one makes a fuss about that) but then goes out and drinks it. Most of the cafés and bistros have signs in the window announcing its arrival, so as a marketing thing it works. As for the wine itself, well its very errr young. There _are_ some strange flavours sometimes - my most memorable had a flavour of pear drops - an English sweet - but it's easy to drink and not expensive.

Nothing wrong with the main, but the alternates were just superb. I waver between the Beaujolais Nouveau shot and the wide angle rugby shot as to which one is my favourite. Incidentally, do the French take Beaujolais Nouveau seriously? When I lived in Belgium, it was a big deal in the Brussels restaurants, but it certainly was not because of the taste...It is a brilliant marketing ploy to get people excited about too young, inferior plonk.
