What type of soil are the best ports grown on?
  1. Schist
  2. Clay
  3. Limestone
  4. Gravel
Explanation
Answer: A - The best ports are grown on schist. The Duoro Valley, which is most famous for its Port, has a lot of schist soil. The Duoro Valley also makes a lot of table wines. Because the best ports are made from grapes grown on schist soil, all the other wines from that region are made on granite, which is the other most common soil from the Duoro Valley.
