Explanation:

Question 24

To determine the common grape blend for sweet white wines in Bordeaux, we recall that Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle are the typical grapes used for sweet white (like Sauternes - style) wines in Bordeaux. The other options include red grape varieties (Merlot, Cabernet) or incorrect white grape combinations.

Cabernet Franc is closely associated with the Loire Valley regions, but Cornas is in the Rhône Valley (Syrah - based), Côte - Rôtie is also Rhône (Syrah), and Chinon, Bourgueil are Loire Valley regions associated with Cabernet Franc? Wait, no—wait, the options: Cornas (Rhône, Syrah), Chinon, Bourgueil (Loire, Cabernet Franc), Côte Rôtie (Rhône, Syrah). Wait, the option “None of the above” or the correct one? Wait, Cabernet Franc is key in Loire's Chinon, Bourgueil. But the options: if the second option is “Chinon, Bourgueil”, but the selected (in the image) is Cornas (which is wrong). Wait, the question is which sub - region of Loire Valley is associated with Cabernet Franc. Cornas is not Loire (it's Rhône). Côte Rôtie is Rhône. So “None of the above” would be wrong if Chinon/Bourgueil is an option. Wait, maybe the options are mis - presented. Wait, the correct sub - regions of Loire Valley for Cabernet Franc are Chinon, Bourgueil, etc. But if the options are as given: Cornas (Rhône), Chinon, Bourgueil (Loire), Côte Rôtie (Rhône), None. So the correct answer should be the second option (Chinon, Bourgueil) if that's an option. But in the image, the selected is Cornas (wrong). So the correct answer is the second option (assuming labels: B. Chinon, Bourgueil) or if the option is “None of the above” is wrong, but based on knowledge, Chinon and Bourgueil (Loire) are associated with Cabernet Franc.

A “Colheita” Port is a Tawny Port made from a single vintage (year) of white grapes, aged for 7 years in barrel before bottling? No, wait: Colheita Port is a single - vintage Tawny Port, aged for at least 7 years in barrel (or cask) before bottling. The other options: blended, full - bodied (not Colheita), young and sweet (not), from white grapes (Port is from red grapes? Wait, no: Port is made from red grapes (Touriga Nacional, etc.), but Colheita is a type of Tawny Port. Wait, correction: Colheita Port is a single - vintage Port, aged for a long time (usually 7 years or more) in barrel, then bottled. So the option “from a single year, but aged 7 years in barrel before bottling” matches.

Answer:

D. Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle (assuming the last option is D; if options are labeled as per order: the fourth option: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle)
