Beaujolais wines haven't been represented by Inter Beaujolais at Vinexpo for more than 10 years, states the trade association, which represents producers in the region. The return is the result of renewed interest in the region's wines, in particular, the return to popularity of Beaujolais wines such as Saint-Amour, Chiroubles, Morgon and Fleurie.
