Geocache Description:

Here is a simple little puzzle aimed at teaching you a little bit about the types of wine grapes grown in different parts of the world.

Wine has been produced for thousands of years, using many different varieties (called varietals) of grape. In this country, we historically were only exposed to a relatively small number of varietals. Wine importing has increased tremendously in recent years and there is now a greater range of varietals on the market. Still, there are many varietals that are found only in small regions of a single country. Here are a few of those varietals to learn about. Select the country where each varietal is typically found.


First the whites:

A. Cococciola
2. Spain
4. Portugal
6. Turkey
8. Italy

B. Completer
1. Switzerland
3. Germany
5. Austria
7. Australia

C. Dinka
1. New Zealand
3. South Africa
5. Hungary
7. Greece

Now on to the reds:

D. Mavro
2. Italy
4. Cyprus
6. Spain
8. Hungary

E. Complexa
1. Italy
3. Spain
5. Portugal
7. Australia

F. Fer
2. Germany
4. Austria
6. France
8. Switzerland

Once you've done the necessary research, you can find the cache at N 47 41.ABC and W 122 18.DEF.

This cache had to be moved in March 2020. The puzzle answers, final coordinates and GeoChecker were changed.
