Top Wine Flashcards

Tuscany, Bordeaux, Napa Valley, Chile... we’re taking a trip where the sun always shines, life is easier and grapes are hand picked, fermented and turned into a tasty drink we all know and love. Our Wine quizzes are sure to stir up the conversation and deliver some surprising answers to questions such as “What does In Vino Veritas mean?”, “What country is the lead exporter of wine?”, “What is the difference between a Chiraz and a Merlot?”, “What type of wine compliments a chicken dish?”, “What’s the most someone paid for a bottle of wine?”. Raise your glass and propose a toast: to the great winemakers, their delicious products and yourself, for holding the answer to all of our challenges.
