Are you celebrating Beaujolais Day?

[purplepoppy]

Today, the 16th of November is Beaujolais Day. It's a popular event in the south of Wales, particularly in Swansea, for ladies to engage in midweek wine drinking. It celebrates the first release of Beaujolais wine.

The local press even does a live report www.walesonline.co.uk/.../beaujolais-day-2023-live-updates-28117135

Apparently, the French also have the day (pictured). It's nice that they've adopted our event isn't it?

So will you be popping open a bottle or going to an event?

Oui I'm French, this is what we do.

Yes I'm welsh I'm going to get hammered and phone in sick tomorrow

C'mon mods, this obviously isn't a sex question. Do your jobs and move it back to food and drink where I put it.

A special midweek drinking festival for ladies? This sounds like the Oakes race day in Melbourne. The girls start off looking like a million bucks with their fascinators n all but by the end of the day they are going to take anything a guy says badly amiss. It is a scary day, so I stay home.

It would be traitorous for an Australian to celebrate the French vintage but it does sound like a good idea to pinch it. Australia really needs another drinking festival.

Category kinda depends on how much of it you have I guess...

I knew nothing about it, but I'm celebrating it properly now.

What the fuck is a Beaujolais Day anyway? Sound like some bougie white folks' holiday to me. Ain't nobody got time for that! Now if you wanna celebrate a real holiday, then come join me for National Fried Chicken Day. That's a day worth celebratin', girl! We gonna stuff our faces with crispy fried goodness until we can't move. And then we gonna wash it all down with some sweet tea and shake our big booty. Now that's what I call a party!

The name is FRENCH, so I think it is YOU who "adopted" it.

I know "beau" means BEAUTIFUL. Not sure what "jolais" means, but it sounds kind if "jolie", which is the French for PRETTY

Update: Knowing your history, they aren't taking any chances with you

Nope, I've never found Beaujolais Nouveau to be worth drinking.
