When should I drink Beaujolais wine?
Drink Beaujolais nouveau as soon as possible; you can keep it unopened until the new year, but it's best to drink it before the following May - a six month shelf life. If you age it too long, it will develop flat flavors with a distinct lack of fruitiness or even a heavy vinegar aroma.
