Fun Wine Quiz

Basket Bottle

3. Which Italian wine was known for its basket-bottle?

Chianti

Correct! Chianti has been trying to upgrade its reputation from a "cheap table wine" to something that can be complex and delicious. By the tastes of some of the fine Chianti Classicos coming out of the region, they are succeeding!

Amarone

Too far north! Amarone is the rich red that Lechter ate with fava beans in "Silence of the Lambs", but it never came in a basket.

Soave

Too far north! Soave is the romantic wine of Romeo & Juliet, far too lovely for a basket on a table.

Asti Spumanti

Incorrect - Asti is bubbly! How could you forget the insipid Martini & Rossi Asti Spumanti commercials? This is a sparkling wine from Italy.
