'Wine bath' resort launched in Japan

The 2019 Beaujolais Nouveau Wine on a Bathing was officially released on Nov 21 in Hakone, west of Tokyo. A beverage-based bathing experience is the red wine hot spring, with its huge, 3.6-meter-tall wine bottle.

People may even be present to witness the wine show, in which staff members spray bathers with a bottle of Hakone wine. Whether seeing the show or not, the red wine bath is perfect for every wine lover.

Japan is a major market for the Beaujolais Nouveau. According to local media reports, about 5.3 million bottles of the wine will be imported into Japan by the end of the year.
