Wine Quiz
Continuing our Champagne theme this month, many wine lovers know that Champagne is often a blend of different grape varieties, but fewer know that it is usually blended across vintages in order to produce a "house" style with a consistent taste profile year to year. The exception to the blended vintages is, of course, vintage-dated Champagne, which is produced in exceptional years only from grapes harvested during that vintage. What percentage of total Champagne production is vintage-dated?
A. Less than 5 percent
B. Less than 10 percent
C. Less than 15 percent
D. Less than 20 percent
E. Less then 25 percent
