My brother (of all people, a non wine drinker) sent me this (why he was on First Choice Liquor's website I will never know), He got 12/20.

The Ultimate Penfolds Quiz

Now, no using Mr Google.

I got 13, but it should be 14, as their answer to Q19 is wrong (it should be c not a) and can be proven here: Age Gate | Penfolds Wines. God, I've personally had 4 bottles re-corked (2 Grange and 2 St Henri), so the answer was always going to be high, considering they have been going since 1991. #Fail

I've also seen a response that Q14 is wrong (2004 Block 42 Cabernet ampoule, only 12 made $168K each. Hand blown completely sealed in glass). The link doesn't state they were given away: Age Gate | Penfolds Wines

Ehmm. 17! Should have been 18 but missed the Sherry answer. Bugger.

No help from above or G either! Must admit three 'educated' guesses. Was surprised at the recorking answer. GIYF says over 130,000 have been presented but quick search did not reveal actual number of recorked bottles. What do you say QFWP?

C was my answer, given my personal experience and the knowledge of the popularity of the clinics, how long they have been going adn the number of cities visited (now International cities are also visited). I know a collector who must have had over 100 recorked bottles (well his overall collection was at one stage topping 10K bottles and ~750 Penfolds IIRC). Therefore the answer is neither a nor b. So there actually isn't a correct answer :rolleyes:
 
Bit of fun.
10 but should have been 12 based on the above comments.
Maybe I don't drink enough Penfolds !
 
Got 19 out of 20. But I was at Magill Estate recently.
