Competition

Well, given that we think Michael Pollan is such a hot-shot, we reckon we need to offer his newest masterpiece as this month's prize in our competition. So, just fill out this form with the answer to this simple question to us right now: The great pioneer of American apple planting was born with the name John Chapman. However, he is remembered by history and legend under his famous nickname: what was that name?

Fill out this form with the answer.

Many thanks to all you Oxford-Companion-to-Wine-totin' buffs out there, for our fiendishly obscure competition question for May didn't take you but a second to answer correctly. The man who invented the method by which you could calculate the quantity of sugar required on a scientific basis when making champagne was André François, a pharmacist from Châlon-sur-Marne.

Congratulations to Marie Cunniffe from Ballinteer, who wins a bottle Pierlot Fils, Grande Reserve Brut, brought to you from Bubble Brothers, with their design your own champagne label offer.
