Some participants may remember there was the 'Who wants to win a million' contest on these pages some years back. As a spontaneous moment, decided to attempt a third go and see what occurs. No money to be awarded unfortunately but worth an attempt again if you're so inclined. Answers at a later date.
And most of all - no cheating or reference. It's only fair.

Re: WWTBAM Version 3
Sounds French, although it'll probably be bloody Portuguese. But I'll say France, final answer.

Must be a first - a Scotsman unable to answer a question about alcohol..
No offense, and in any event the last answer was incorrect. Portugal was the right response needed.
Open to carry on with subsequent answers but updates will be few and far between.

Re: WWTBAM Version 3
Serious? I have a memory of a Mateus advert on TV with the guy saying it in this "Mateeoos" French accent. Never been a wine drinker so didn't know. But its been added to the "pub quiz" part of my beer wasted brain.
Next question stuck on is 16K, Swan Lake. Not a clue. Send me your phone number, with international code and Chicago area code. You can be my "Phone an American".
