Beaujolais-Villages may retain freshness for a year. A Beaujolais Cru (from a named commune such as Moulin a Vent, Julienas or Brouilly) may last 3-5 years. Perhaps your Beaujolais was too old or exposed to high temperatures. (Best to store at 55 degrees Fahrenheit if possible or no more than 70 or 72 if keep in an ordinary room. )

Looking for suggestions, info and help.

Not sure of your location but there has to be a tasting bar somewhere

Found some of my wines aboard the base. Wide selection including many from Australia. Some German, and a few from Japan.
