ALL THE ANSWERS ARE CORRECT! I JUST FINISHED THE TEST TOO!! :D
yup there all right
1. The answer is D. vinegar. If wine that's stored in barrels after fermentation is exposed to too much air, it can turn into vinegar. This process is called oxidation, and it causes the wine to spoil and develop a sour taste.
2. The answer is A. large-stemmed glass filled a little more than halfway. When serving wines, it's best to use a large-stemmed glass filled a little more than halfway. This allows room for the wine to aerate and release its aromas.
3. The answer is B. grip the cork firmly while holding the bottle at a 45-degree angle. When opening a bottle of champagne, you should untwist the wire hook, remove the wire and foil, and then grip the cork firmly while holding the bottle at a 45-degree angle. Slowly twist the bottle, not the cork, until the cork gently eases out.
4. The answer is C. Port. Portugal is most famous for its Port wines, which are sweet, fortified wines typically enjoyed as dessert wines.
5. The answer is C. Chianti. If you're looking for a light, versatile, red wine to serve with a simple pasta with basil and tomatoes, a good choice would be Chianti. Chianti is a red wine from Tuscany, Italy, known for its medium body and food-friendly acidity.
6. The answer is C. Mesopotamians. The Mesopotamians were the first people to make wine. They cultivated grapes and used them to produce wine as early as 6000 BC.
7. The answer is B. Jim is correct. Most American beers are of the lager type, not the bock beer type.
8. The answer is D. Sumerians. The earliest historical records show that beer was first brewed by the Sumerians in ancient Mesopotamia around 4000 BC.
9. The answer is A. Yeast. Yeast is the fermenting agent that converts the wort (mixture of malt and water) into beer. Yeast consumes the sugars in the wort and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide.
10. The answer is B. Benedictine monk. Dom Perignon is named after a Benedictine monk who made important contributions to the production and quality of Champagne in the late 17th century.
11. The answer is C. converted to sugar, then fermented into alcohol. When beer is made, the starch in the barley is converted to sugar through the mashing process. The sugar is then fermented by yeast into alcohol.
12. The answer is D. Neither woman is correct. The choice of wine to pair with cheese is subjective and depends on personal preferences. Both Zinfandel and Pinot Noir can be good choices to pair with cheese, but it ultimately comes down to individual taste preferences.
13. The answer is B. 2.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits. A five-ounce glass of red wine has approximately the same amount of alcohol as 2.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits.
14. The answer is A. 6 to 12 percent. Table wines typically have an alcoholic range of 6 to 12 percent.
15. The answer is C. Scotch. Scotch is an example of a clear spirit. It is a type of whiskey distilled in Scotland.
16. The answer is A. sediment can collect toward the bottom of the bottle. Wine bottles are stored tilted downward so that any sediment in the wine can collect toward the bottom of the bottle. This helps to keep the wine clear when it is poured.
17. The answer is D. Neither man is correct. Ale and beer are different types of beer, but neither can be universally described as milder or more bitter. The taste and bitterness of ales and beers can vary widely depending on the specific style and ingredients used.
18. The answer is C. 50 percent. The optimal level of humidity for storing wine is around 50 percent. This helps prevent the corks from drying out and maintaining the wine's quality.
19. The answer is D. Whiskey is distilled from grain; brandy is distilled from grapes. The main difference between brandy and whiskey is the base ingredient used for distillation. Brandy is distilled from grapes, while whiskey is distilled from grain.
20. The answer is D. Time. The only way to sober up after drinking several glasses of wine is to give the body time to metabolize the alcohol. Time allows the liver to break down the alcohol and eliminate it from the system. Other methods like coffee, a meal, or a cold shower may make a person feel more awake or temporarily alert, but they do not sober a person up.
