I'm wondering if we need the actual magazine to know which 8 crus they profiled?
** Update 02/11
I popped into WH Smith today but this is one of those wrapped magazines so I can't browse through it looking for the answers....
Maybe someone on here gets the mag and can provide the other answers?Best win ever: Trip to the Galapagos Islands in 20100 -
Hi there do we know the answers to all questions?0

I think for the 2nd questions it's 7 - if you look at wiki they breakdown what each place is allowed to produce. I counted 7 allowing to produce white? (they only list 8 on wiki so presuming the same 8 they listed in the mag)

As for question 3, I think it's Chateau Grillet AOC as it's only 3.8 hectares.The rest on the list are from 55 hectares +

My guess at answers are:
