    Q1:
    Canadian Icewine

    電影最後一幕,飛機上鄰座的小童好奇地看漢尼拔吃他自備的「飛機餐」,此時用來佐人腦煎排的配酒,則是一瓶1996年份的Chateau Phelan-Segur。
    Film the last scene, in-flight children sitting next to me eating his curiosity to see Hannibal-owned "aircraft meal," the human brain fried at this time to junior with rows of wine, a bottle of 1996 is the year of Chateau Phelan-Segur."
