What is the strangest question you have been asked about wine or winemaking?

[Inger Shiffler]

Here at Robert Mondavi Winery we see over 100,000 people a year on tour or in the tasting rooms. Most visitors ask pretty basic questions, when is the harvest, how many grapes does it take to make a bottle, what do the grapes taste like, etc. Sometimes they will ask something totally off the wall. I am curious to know what is the strangest question you have been asked about wine and what was the answer you gave.

Once, an interview for an Asian lifestyle magazine started with the question "So, do you like wine?" That seemed to be a strange question to ask me, given the context. But I suppose in fairness you don't have to like wine to be in this business. I of course said yes, and then proceeded to answer a completely different question that I had a better answer for.
