Online Quiz Reveals Wine-Drinking Preferences of 2008 Candidates and Former Presidents
Tuesday, October 14, 2008
LA CROSSE, Wis., Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- What does Barack Obama drink when
he visits his favorite Chicago restaurant? Which candidates have wines named
in their honor? Which former president built a huge wine cellar in the White
House basement? Just in time for pre-election cocktail talk, the online White
House Wine Quiz reveals drinking habits of current candidates and past
presidents as well as other White House wine-related lore. Take the quiz at
http://www.wineteasers.com/whitehouse/.
The quiz manages to both amuse and inform as it explores the world of
politics and wine. For example, who would have guessed that Richard Nixon had
his wine poured from napkin-draped bottles to hide the fact that he preferred
French wines over domestic? Or that Jimmy Carter, still to this day, makes
his own wines (no, not from peanuts), having learned the craft from his
father?
"We wanted to create something relevant to our nation's current political
experience and keep it light-hearted and non-partisan," said Stefan Smith,
President of Fine Wine Games, Inc., publisher of the quiz. "We're not
revealing any dark, incriminating secrets, just pointing out some of the more
interesting wine-related tidbits that are attributed to past and possibly
future White House residents."
So what does Obama drink when he visits his favorite Chicago restaurant?
According to the White House Wine Quiz, "A single margarita. Although
characterized as a founding member of the wine and cheese club, Obama is said
to partake equally (though judiciously) of cocktails, beer, and wine. At the
Topolobampo, his favorite Chicago restaurant, Obama always orders a single
margarita with dinner, never wine. Psst: Barack, try some of the Mexican wines
on their award-winning wine list!"
The White House Wine Quiz was created by Fine Wine Games, Inc., which
publishes educational card games and online materials related to wine. The
company's flagship product is Cork Jester's Wine Teasers, a lighthearted and
educational card game with content written by Jennifer Rosen, the James Beard
Award winning wine writer and educator. Wine Teasers games are available at
http://www.wineteasers.com, retailers throughout the U.S., Amazon.com and
other online retailers.
