All-You-Can-Drink Beaujolais Nouveau

Though it's often described in sneeringly derisive terms by hardcore wine buffs, Beaujolais Nouveau exerts a thrall over the drinking public that no other alcoholic tipple can rival. This is particularly true in Japan, where the arrival of each year's new batch is a major media event – albeit not one that can command the kind of price tag it warranted in the bubble era, when consumers were prepared to spend as much as ¥10,000 on a bottle. Even if you'd rather drink wine from a spit bucket, Yoyogi cafe Newport has got a tempting offer today: an all-you-can-drink deal, where ¥3,000 gets you two hours of unlimited access to three of this year's Beaujolais varieties, plus hors d'oeuvres.
