Beaujolais Nouveau and B. Villages Nouveau

[Innkeeper]

Nouveau "gets picked, processed, and sold within about three weeks, start to finish, adds up to serious cash flow. As they say, it ages on the boat [or plane]." (Andrea Immer, "Great Wine Made Simple" P. 180).

"Regular" Beaujolais or Beaujloais Villages or the Beaujolais Crus get picked, processed, and sold in the same way as any other wine you would want to buy. Believe me, it takes a lot longer than three weeks.
