We have been thinking of doing a contest for a long time but haven’t had a chance to do so for a while. Well, today we are going to make it happen. We launched cognac.com at the end of December 2008/early 2009 and since then we have a come a long way. Without you it would have never been possible to get this far. Thank You!
Now to the contest part. The contest is really easy and hopefully it’s fun for you as well. We thought we would do a little cognac quiz today to test your knowledge on our beloved drink. Simply answer the questions below and you will be entered in a lucky draw for the prizes. The contest will end on March 16 2009 at 11:59 PM. You have plenty of time to do some research in case you don’t know the answers but we have made it as easy as possible for you. By the way, all the answers are on this blog hidden in the posts. We will announce the winners and the result of the contest on Wednesday, March 18th. Please subscribe to our feed so you are notified of the results and to see who the winner is. We will only release the name of the winners (not the email address).
We will pick three winners. First place will go to one of the contestants who can get all 10 answers correct. Second place will go to one person who can get 5-9 answers correct and the third prize will go to anyone who can get at least one answer correct. We are sure there will be plenty who will get these correct so we will pick a random winner based on what we have mentioned above to choose a winner.
Besides taking the quiz we would appreciate if you could may be help spread the word about this quiz either through your blog, twitter, Facebook or any other platforms. If you take the quiz please leave a comment as well. We hate to say this but to be eligible you have to comment on this post as well. It’s just fun to watch some discussion flow in the comments section. So there it is, take the quiz and leave a comment and you are good to go.
Now the prizes :
First Prize : $100
Second Prize : $50
Third Prize : $25
Although we would like to ship a fine bottle of cognac, due to legal issues we can’t. Therefore we will be giving out cash via paypal. We hope you use it to treat yourself to a bottle of cognac, if not feel free to spend it as you wish. Lets get started.
