What is a Hoggit?
A small mythical creature with a taste for Port
A round bottomed decanter
A tube used to take wine samples from a cask
For most of its history, Port travelled down the river from the Douro Valley vineyards to the Atlantic coast in a special kind of boat. What was it called?
Barco Rabelo
Tappit-hen
Vinhos de ramo
The Port decanter is usually passed round the table in a clockwise direction because:
The custom was established in 1386 by the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of Windsor
Passing the decanter the other way is a privilege of the Coldstream Guards
Most people are right-handed

What was the name of the English merchant who founded Taylor’s in 1692:

Which of the following is a grape variety used to make Port?
Tinta Roriz
Tinta Umb!cula
Tinta Rugosa
As well as Port, Taylor’s famous vineyard estate of Quinta de Vargellas also produces:
A unique variety of grapefruit
A white table wine
A very fine extra virgin olive oil

Any help with the answers is welcome as I have to log off now.

Taylor's was founded by Job Bearsley in 1692

As well as some of the best Port wine in the world, Quinta de Vargellas also produces award-winning olive oil.

Is it just me? There doesn't appear to be anywhere to record the answer to the question about the founder.

Tinta Roriz is a grape variety used to make port. Good luck
