Weekly Wine Quiz #121: How Well Do You Know Your Wines?
The Wine Quiz series is not meant to intimidate. The whole idea here is to have fun and learn something new. When answering the questions, it is fully encouraged to use all available sources of information, including Google or any other search engine. There are no embarrassing answers – the most embarrassing thing is not giving it a try…
Welcome to the weekend and your new wine quiz!
Today we are continuing the theme of the bottle foils and tops in the quiz from the last week – here is the link. In that quiz, you were presented with the pictures of the 6 wine bottle tops, and you were supposed to identify the producers based on those pictures.
Unlike the previous week, the last quiz got zero responses, which makes me sad. Yes, I mentioned that it was a bit harder than the quiz a week before, but was still hoping that at least some of the wine bloggers would be able to recognise the tops as they for sure encountered them on a number of occasions over the past few months. I also was hoping that my hints would be useful – nope. Well, I hope I managed to entertain you at least a little bit, and now it is time to provide the answers:
- LangeTwins, Lodi
- Youngberg Hill Vineyards, Oregon
- Fields, Lofi
- Castillo de Monséran, Spain
- Vina Maipo, Chile
- No Girls Wines, Washington
Today’s quiz should be a bit easier than the last one, most of these producers are better known. Here we go:
Even if you recognize only one wine – don’t be a stranger, take it down to the comments line, you have nothing to lose!
Good luck, enjoy the quiz and your weekend! Cheers!

Welcome to the weekend and your new wine quiz!
Today we are continuing the theme of the bottle foils and tops started in the quiz last week – here is the link. In that quiz, you were presented with the pictures of the 6 wine bottle tops, and you were supposed to identify the producers based on those pictures.
First, I’m very happy to say that we have a winner! Jeff a.k.a. The Drunken Cyclist correctly identified all 6 wines! Very well done Jeff, you get your prize of unlimited bragging rights! I also would like to acknowledge Zak Ginzburg and Ryan Sorell – they both correctly identified three wines out of 6 – excellent work!
Here are the answers:
- Vidon Vineyard, Oregon
- Two Hands, Australia
- Vina Maipo, Chile
- Acquiesce, Lodi
- Klinker Brick, Lodi
- Finca Sandoval, Spain
Today’s quiz might be a bit harder than the previous one, but please give it a try as you have nothing to lose. Here we go:
The wines above represent the USA, Chile, and Spain. And quite honestly, one of the wines above might be considered a trick question – but not too much of a trick; I will explain myself when I will provide answers. Another wine was already featured in these quizzes before, but the top looked very different.
Good luck, enjoy the quiz and your weekend! Cheers!

Yes, I know – it’s been a while since the last wine quiz in these pages. And I can’t promise that this feature is back again on a regular basis. But – as you might judge from the title of the quiz, I have a few more “bottle tops” to quiz you on. Below are the pictures of the bottle tops – and you need to guess which wines (producer for the most part) they belong.
Here we go:
All of the wines are from the USA – some are better known, some are less, so have fun with it!
Good luck, enjoy the quiz and your weekend! Cheers!

Welcome to the weekend and your new wine quiz!
I hope to get back to the regular posting schedule for the wine quizzes, and before I will get to the grape trivia or any other long series, I thought one more round of capsules would be quite appropriate. So below are the pictures of the tops of the wine bottle – can you name the winery which produced that wine?
In this group, we got California, Chile and Portugal. There are no superstars, but there are some well known wineries.
Good luck, enjoy the quiz and your weekend! Cheers!
