Weekly Wine Quiz: Flurbereinigung! Godzundheit!

Vinted on January 18, 2013 binned in wine quiz

Welcome to the Weekly Wine Quiz!

This week, we’re continuing the German wine theme, which means long, difficult to pronounce words will soon be encountered. You’ve been warned.

As of 2013, the quizzes now work like this: you click on your best guess as to the answer, and you’ll be re-directed to the Local Wine Events website (where I originally host the quizzes, via the LWE weekly newsletter, The Juice) to find out ~~how wrong you got it~~ if you chose wisely.

“Flurbereinigung!” “Godzundheit!” The term Flurbereinigung refers to what?

A. Dividing German wine estates among multiple inheritors

B. German sweet dessert wines

C. Re-consolidating German vineyards previously split under quasi-feudal inheritance laws

D. The process of farming steep hillside vineyards in Germany

Cheers – and good luck!
