The Beaujolais Nouveau, a newly produced French wine typically associated with autumn, arrived in Japan on September 28, arriving about a month earlier than usual. This early arrival was due to a record-breaking heatwave in France, which accelerated the grape harvest. The wine, known for its traditional autumnal release, landed at Tokyo's Haneda Airport in the early hours of September 28.
While the early arrival of the Beaujolais Nouveau is unusual, the wine will be sold on its customary release date, the third Thursday of November, which is November 19 this year. The wine's increased sugar content, a result of the heatwave, has also elevated the alcohol level to its highest ever recorded.
