Last Thursday evening around 150 wine trade professionals gathered to celebrate the 10th anniversary Côtes du Rhône Halloween quiz night which took place at The Law Society on Chancery Lane, London.

Key professionals from all areas of the wine industry, including buyers, journalists and suppliers battled for the title of Côtes du Rhône quiz champions. But it was the reigning champions from The drinks business, team name Rasteau-farians, who took the crown.

The evening was fiercely competitive and the costume competition proved tough to judge too with Draculas, witches and even one Hot Dog in attendance.

Olivier Legrand, marketing manager at InterRhone said: “Every year we want to try and do something different for the Côtes du Rhône Halloween quiz and for our 10th anniversary we didn’t want to disappoint! We pulled out all the stops to really make this an unforgettable evening.

“The quiz is a way for us to thank all those in the trade for their continuing support of Côtes du Rhône wines and of course to have some fun. It was great to see and chat to so many people on the evening and we hope to see them again next year.”

The quiz, led by wine critic and MC extraordinaire Charles Metcalfe, was full of surprises including a burlesque dancer and a rendition of Michael Jackson’s thriller from the classic Côtes du Rhône hedgehog advertising character.
