sweet wine, Niersteiner
Are the answers all wines?
^ 1 could be Chambertin
27 eggnog?
Question Author
Thanks, Tilly, this one is good! But the answers are not all wines, and eggnog is definitely out of the question. This one is really tricky! But thank you all!
This brilliant quiz was only downloadable from yesterday
Question Author
Yes, that's true, smouse, and it's a real thrilling one! Every year, it appears at this very time!
when does it close then? If it's only gone live today, it's a bit soon to be asking for answers, some of the rest of us are still trying to do it........ :-(
26th January and I think you have to have it to realise it isnt a straight forward quiz and needs working at and one day didnt seem long it takes me ages but thats how a good quiz should be
The average donation for the quiz last year was £17.98 so please just give it a bit of a chance
Question Author
I agree with you, Smouse, this is an excellent puzzle! I just could not put it down for long when I got it yesterday! And God knows that I have other activities, like writing haiku, to see about! But this puzzle is a winner, indeed! A generous donation will certainly be on the way! My apologies to all for my exuberance in trying to see what the finished product will look like!

Sorry Missed all the previous answers
Question Author
Thank you, emeritus! That's a good answer!
I don't understand the questions (is there a choice of 3 answers, two given in full and the third given with some letters missing), but 27 won't be Negligable as that isn't a word
Do the clues lead to 3 separate answers?
Are you given three letters of each answer to get you started?
Is there a theme?
Question Author
Ok, Calibax, see the puzzle at :www.christmaspuzzle.co.uk
Take 24 as an example. We are given

- - - ATU - - ( IMMATURE ) ; ---MBE---- ; ---STA---- ( APOSTATISM )

I did not get the second one yet.
Question Author
Factor-fiction, 27 should be NEGLIGIBLE. Sorry about that!

I can't see how 'apostatism' = "rare, however".
Maybe Leastaways? (an uncommon form of leastways/however)
