The City Wine Challenge

Are you up for the Challenge...?

The City Wine Challenge is a brand new and exciting wine competition taking place on Friday evening, 6.30 - 8.30pm. Eight teams, each from city-based institutions, will be invited to compete in a 'University Challenge' style wine competition in four separate heats. The winning team is the team which accumulates the most points.

Each team will consist of four members who consider themselves to have a good knowledge of wine and wine trivia. Teams will be asked to enter the competition with a healthy level of competition but also to enter it with the spirit that it is intended. Each member should feel competent in answering questions such as:

Could you name the odd one out in this list: Haut Brion, Latour, Lafite, Margaux, Cheval Blanc?
Is the connection between a popular wine made by Torres and Eger Bikaver animal, vegetable or mineral?
Is Curico in a) Spain, b) Chile, c) Portugal?

For taking part, each team will receive 4 complimentary tickets to The Coutts Private Wine Cellar, a VIP area of the show which showcases a range of some of the finest wines on the market. In addition a 50% discount on Wine Show tickets will be offered to up to fifty of their wine club members.

The runners up will also receive personally signed copies of the best selling French Wines by leading wine expert Robert Joseph, who has helped to devise the Challenge.

The prize for the winning team is the books, plus a private wine tasting for themselves and up to 20 of their wine club members with Robert Joseph, which will take place on an agreed date, time and place. Plus of course the prestige of becoming The City Wine Challenge winners for 2008 at the UK’s largest, dedicated wine experience!
