Now that summer is officially here, Inter Beaujolais, the official wine-trade organization of the region, invites you to “chill” with a bottle of Beaujolais for all your upcoming summer activities – Beaches, BBQs, and Birthday Bashes alike!
Anthony Collet, Marketing & Communications Director of Inter Beaujolais says, “The American consumer has always enjoyed versatile wines and Beaujolais offers great variety.” He adds, “Aside from selecting Beaujolais’ whites and rosés for summer, we highly encourage consumers to enjoy the reds through the season by slightly chilling them to extract the fruity, spicy flavor that pairs perfectly with popular BBQ fare.” Great Beaujo’ pairings include hot-dogs, bacon cheeseburgers, pulled-pork and more!
[...] Exports of Beaujolais to the U.S. between 2009 and 2010 have increased by +14%. Furthermore, in the same time period, exports of Beaujolais Cru jumped +112%. This parallels with recent data released by IWSR, the International Wine and Spirits Record, which forecasted that the U. S. would surpass France in consumption by volume, thus becoming the largest wine consuming nation by 2012.
