Stew Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I don't know if Bourru is a Charente only thing.Beaujolais Nouveau is last year's wine, so it's very young.BOURRU is last week's wine so its VERY young.THe damn stuff is still cloudy and has crud at the bottom and tastes like alcoholic grape juice. The caps have a hole in because it is still fermenting, so if you lay the bottle sideways in the fridge it leaks everywhere.It is very nice chilled on a warm day. The French all say it gives them upset stomachs. Lucky for me, it only gives me an upset head.Some labels say 11% and others say 3%-11% by which I presume they mean it was 3 when it went in the bottle but could be 11 know because its still fermenting.Stew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 They were selling it at 40 cents a bottle in our supermarket. Though the check out girl saw the cloud of yeast and was horrified. Our Bourru was like alcholic lemonade very sweet and fizzy. The French should sell it as an alcho pop in UK they'd make millions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letrangere Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I've only ever once had "wine" fresh from the grape crusher but what you describe sounds very much like what we drank, it was warm too. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
