#NotInWineGrapes competition
Although we would have loved Wine Grapes to be an exhaustive book, we knew that some grape varieties would have slipped through our net.
Help us to spot them!
How to win?
Find a wine grape variety that is NOT in Wine Grapes (check synonyms!) and that was used to make commercially available wine released BEFORE 2011 (when we completed the text of Wine Grapes) and contact us here
The prize?
A bottle of fine wine from Valais (Switzerland) made with the canton’s celebrated indigenous varieties, sent to you by José Vouillamoz and generously offered by Les Vins du Valais
The winners?
The first 10 successful players, after the authors’ validation of the wine(s) and grape(s)
