Perhaps the author expresses a Russian view that Beaujolais nouveau is, shall we say, a Volgarity.

Beaujolais is a tradition that many people enjoy. To boycott call for a Boycott is your right and thats fine. It is true that people can try local wines, and that is fine. But once a year something comes out that brings us out, something that some people look foward to. Would you say, don't watch the super bowl, go watch high school football instead because all of the electricity for the TV's causes high carbon footprint? Or go the the malls the day after thanksgiving because because all of the cars causes global warming? Give it a rest and let people enjoy it. I don’t agree with the boycott.
