The third Thursday in November sees the start of the celebrations for " la nouvelle collection" of wine from around the three rivers of Rhone, Saone and Beaujolais. In the streets of Lyon the wooden wine barrels are rolled around the streets as part of the celebrations. Sadly although what wine there is will be good, there is not much of it. The difficult weather conditions at the start of the year, rain and grele ( hail) have drastically reduced the harvest and many vineyards are on the brink of bankruptcy.
The Gaillac primeurs have also been unveiled.
