Welcome to the Weekly Wine Quiz!

Standard disclaimer on how this all works: Based on feedback from ever-so-vocal-and-intelligent peeps just like you, I do not supply the quiz answer directly in the post – you will need to tune back in later in the comments section for the answer. So you can put your answer in the comments for potential bragging rights later (not that you’d gloat… too much…).

The next round of quizzes focuses on aspects of winemaking; or, as I like to call it, “the real-work work” (critics and journalists and wine personalities have got it easy – we only need to drink the stuff!).

By The Bunch

Red wine grapes are sometimes placed in vats in entire bunches (stalks and all) under a cover of carbon dioxide, eventually fermenting the grapes. Do you know what this method of fermentation is called?

• A. Pigeage
• B. Remontage
• C. Autovinification
• D. Carbonic maceration

Go public with your smarties and shout out the answer in the comments.

Cheers – and good luck!
