These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-06-08,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of Five Guys Named Moe, and
are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information
see my 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".

* Game 7, Round 7 - Geography - Sweet Grapes - Ice Wine Regions
We will now explore the world of outrageously expensive and
incredibly sweet ice wine. Ten questions on the geography of
this delicacy.
1. Frozen grapes were used to produce ice wine in Roman times, but
its production was not revived until 1794. Name the present-day
European country where this took place. This country is
responsible for some of the expensive ice wines, renowned for
their purity and complexity.
2. Since this country rarely gets cold enough temperatures before
December, its grapes are able to mature longer on the vines,
resulting in ice wines that are richer and fuller than those
produced in <answer 1>. Name the country, whose ice wine is
centered around Burgenland near Lake Neusiedl.
3. In 1999, Chateau Pajzos, located in the village of Sarospatak,
became the first winery to produce a Tokay ice wine. Name the
country.
4. Though much of France's climate is too warm for ice wine
production, a very small amount is produced in what northern
region?
5. Fun fact: Ice wine is written as two words across the globe
*except* in Canada, where it is one word. In 1972, icewine
was produced for the first time in Canada. In what province
did German immigrant Walter Hainle produce 40 liters due to an
unexpected frost?
6. Please decode the rot13 for questions #6-7 only after you have
finished with the previous question. Gur svefg Bagnevb

8. Currently, Canada is the world's largest icewine producer.
Within two years, in what year, did the European Union allow
the importation of Canadian icewine thereby recognizing it is
as an equivalent to European ice wine?
9. In the United States, the Great Western Winery was the first
to produce ice wine. The year was 1991. Name the wine-growing
region located in New York State which is home to this winery.
10. There are three other US states besides New York that currently
produce ice wine. Name any one of them.
