1. Port wine by definition can only originate in Portugal. In what part of Portugal are the grapes that are used in Port wine grown?

From Quiz Round the World with Team Red: Stage 9

Answer: In the Douro Valley east and north of Porto

The Douro Valley, with hot dry summers and mild wet winters, is ideal for growing the wine grapes needed for Port. The Douro river is an irrigation source and splits Porto. The grapes are not that different from other grapes used in wines; the difference is that Port wine is wine with a distillation spirit added, not unlike brandy which fortifies and sweetens the wine as well as increases the alcohol content. Porto, as a city, has its economy firmly grounded in Port exports but other agricultural exports include almonds and olives which thrive in this climate as well as the export of cork. However while Port has to come from Portugal, cork is also grown in Argentina, Australia and Spain. Question created by 1nn1

From Quiz I Need Some Alp

Answer: Ligurian Alps

Named for the boundary they create between Piedmont, Italy and the coastal region of Liguria, the Ligurian Alps are the southwestern edge of the mountains and lead onward into France. This reach's highest peak, Punta Marguareis, is actually on the French-Italian border. The Ligurian region of Italy, to the south, is less known for the mountains than it is for its coastline. Edging onto the Mediterranean, Liguria snakes from the French Riviera all the way down to Genoa and La Spezia, including the coastal cliffs of Cinque-Terre (bordering Tuscany). The Ligurian Alps also border the much larger Apennine range which extends into the major portion of peninsular Italy.

From Quiz The Nordic Countries

Answer: Eyjafjallajökull

Iceland is a country famous for its geological activity, especially its volcanoes and geysers.

This ash cloud caused significant disruption to air travel as it led to the closure of much of Europe's air space owing to the potential danger the ash particles caused to aeroplane engines.
