The Spirit World

Do you know your Chardonnay from your Chablis? Your Loire from your Mosel? If you don’t, or even if you do and want to increase your knowledge of wine at no cost, then check out the following three quizzes.

Test your general wine knowledge over at Tom Cannavan’s Wine Pages. There are 20 questions in each of 12 quizzes and they cover the broad spectrum of wines across the world and are one of the most popular searches on this extensive site. Some of the questions are simple and some require much more knowledge but if you aren’t stretched then you are never going to learn.

Berry Bros and Rudd are London’s oldest wine merchant but are distinctly unstuffy. They have a random set of 10 questions from a selection of 400 which you can choose to make harder or easier depending on your level of knowledge. They also have a slighly old fashioned looking game but it does the trick of testing you out whilst learning at the same time.

The third quiz is a bit more specific as it’s about the regional identity of Australian wine. If you think you know or want to be able to tell what an Eden or Clare Valley Riesling tastes and looks like or a Barossa Shiraz, then try this innovative site.

Good luck and make sure you do the quizzes with a glass of wine beside you as a motivator!
