|  | 30 injured as Beaujolais revellers clash with police Agencies in Lyon Saturday November 19, 2005 The Guardian The arrival of this year's Beaujolais Nouveau turned violent in Grenoble, south-east France, yesterday, when more than 30 people were hurt in clashes between students and police. The violence - an isolated incident in a country that has largely returned to normal after weeks of rioting - broke out after young people left bars where they had been celebrating the arrival of the wine. "Some were very politicised. Drunk on new wine, they wanted to make a 'red Beaujolais' revolution," said a police official. Riot police used tear gas to restore order. More than 20 people were held for questioning.
