Happy quizzing! Remember, you have nothing to lose. Answers are coming on Thursday.
2. A type of wine closure.
I think the first answer is B, but only because I recently enjoyed a bottle of it. 🙂 I’ll leave the other questions to those who can answer without using Google. Cheers.
Thanks for playing 🙂 The answers are coming on Thursday. With the help of Google the quiz is probably solved in minutes so I always encourage my readers not to use Google 🙂 I’m glad you didn’t use it!
2. A big monster that lives at the bottom of Lake Vino in South Tyrol, only sighted by people who’ve had a glass too many?
3. Maybe having to do with DOC & DOCC appellations, perhaps when they were officially defined?
Really appreciate it that you didn’t use Google. I think the quiz would be no fun if everyone would start googling the answers.
2. One of those glass stopper thingys that you often find on a bottle of Grüner Veltliner.
3. No clue . . . hopefully it involves La Dolce Vita, though.
4. Pantelleria sounds like it could be an Italian pastry, so I’m going with that.
Thanks for playing! Pantelleria could indeed be an Italian pastry 😛 Actually, it is a tiny Italian island in front of the Tunisian coast.
The answers for the quiz are coming on Thursday.
2). an alternative wine closure (used instead of cork) that is made of either glass or plastic.
5). Champagne, Cré`mant d’Alsace, Crémant de la Loire.
Good answers Jeff! On Thursday I’ll tell you whether they are right or not.
It’s a French Method! I could have gone with Franciacorta, Cava, Sekt, or American sparkling wine, but that would be sacrilege.
2) Vin Lok is a plastic or glass wine closure.
3. Vernaccia di San Gimigiano was ratified as the very first DOC. Later in that year many other DOCs were ratified.
4) C – Pantelleria is famous for its sweet wines .
2) It’s an alternative to the traditional wine cork. Used to be made out of plastic but more recent ones are produced from glass.
