You forgot the snakes. Hey, folks, do you get the impression Ras really
doesn't care for Beaujolais Nouveau, but kinda doesn't want to say so?

It's okay, Ras, don't be shy! Lots of people do like it, though,
especially many of those who drink more refined and aged wines the rest
of the year. Hard to argue with the numbers. On the other hand, lots of
people like cola.

Seriously, though, some new wines are judged according to different
criteria, and many cultures have prized them in their own right
throughout history, and some still do. To negatively compare them for
quality to aged wines is like saying a beautiful platter of sashimi
still cold from the ocean is just more incompetently cooked fish.
