Sorry, no Mother’s Day wine quiz!
We had requests for a Mother’s Day wine quiz – something to parallel the Father’s Day Wine Quiz, but we didn’t quite get to it in time. Sorry wine quiz fans!
Well, now we have a whole year to work on it.
Still, don’t you think mom will probably enjoy the Father’s Day Wine Quiz more than dad will? It is a little, how do they say, derisive?

Like all Wine Teasers questions, it doesn’t really matter if you know the answer, because each question has a GREAT BIG HINT. You move ahead more quickly if you don’t need the hint, but it’s always there, ensuring that Wine Teasers wine game is playable by even people who know little about wine.
Hint: Let them drink 34B!
Answer: A. This glass, called a “coupe,” is now out of fashion, since its wide surface area allows bubbles to dissipate. Much better is the long, thin tulip or flute-shaped glass. No word on what or who was the model for that.
That’s an actual question from Cork Jester’s Wine Teasers wine game, the most fun, zany, unintimidating wine game on the planet!
