  1. easy

    What is the standard British pub measure for beer, equal to 20 imperial fluid ounces?

    Show answer

    A pint

    The UK's imperial pint (568 ml) is nearly 20% larger than the US pint (473 ml).

  2. easy

    What classic cocktail is made by stirring gin (or sometimes vodka) with dry vermouth and is typically garnished with an olive or a lemon twist?

    Show answer

    Martini

    By 1922 the drink had settled into its best-known form: London dry gin and dry vermouth stirred together at roughly a 2:1 ratio.

  3. medium

    What term names the sweet dessert wine made by pressing grapes that were left on the vine until they froze solid?

    Show answer

    Icewine

    Because the water in frozen grapes stays behind as ice, icewine is pressed from only a fraction of the usual juice volume, producing an intensely sweet, concentrated wine.

  4. medium

    What name is given to pink wine made by letting the juice sit briefly with red grape skins before pressing?

    Show answer

    Rosé

    The longer red grape skins soak in the juice, the deeper the color of the finished rosé.

  5. hard

    What Italian spirit is distilled from pomace — the leftover grape skins, seeds and stems pressed off during winemaking?

    Show answer

    Grappa

    Grappa began as a frugal Italian tradition: distilling the grape solids (skins, pulp, seeds, stems) that winemakers would otherwise have thrown away.
