Wine Riddles
1. I wear a coat of glass and hold a sunset’s glow; uncork me slow and let the stories flow. What am I?
2. Born on a vine, I travel in oak; some call me tart, some call me smoke. What am I?
3. I’m clear as water but not for the sea... I add fizz and cheer to a celebration, that’s me. What am I?
4. I’m named for a place but loved worldwide; light on the tongue, with red-fruit pride. What am I?
5. I start as grape, then rest and age; my label tells the year I turned the page. What am I?
