Test your brain on wine


Happy New Year! I'm sure by this time you've had your fill of wine and have probably promised not to touch a drop for months. For those of you who have been reading the column over the last year, I have put together a little quiz to jump-start the brains again!

All correct entries will go into a draw for two excellent bottles of wine.

In 2007, I hope to continue to inform you about the huge topic that is the world of wine and if any of you have any particular area you would like me to focus on, please send your suggestions.

1. Omagh man John Lagan found success in Australia producing this famous wine. Was it

a) Utopia

b) Xanadu

c) Valhalla

2. What is the name of the sparkling wine that Spain is most famous for?

a) Cava

b) Prosecco

c) Asti

3) Name the grape used in Chablis

b) Chardonnay

c) Pinot Noir

a) Chile

b) New Zealand

c) Australia

5) Which of these is not a legal requirement on a wine label?

b) Alcoholic Strength

c) Grape Variety

6) Is Verdelho a red or white grape?

7) What grape is used in Burgundy red wines?

a) Pinot Meunier

We also have an extra question. If you're in Sally's Cellar we want you to see if you can identify our most expensive wine. Clue: an Omagh Park

You can leave your entries in the off-licence or post them to Sally's Cellar, Church Hill, Omagh, BT78 1DW, with your name and a contact telephone number.

I'll let you know the winner in next week's column.
