Hock is a British term for which kind of wine?

• A. A German term for white wine
• B. A British term for German red wine
• C. A British term for German white wine
• D. A sparkling wine style

Answer: (C)

Hock is a British term used historically to refer to white wines from the Rhine region of Germany. In Britain, exporters and consumers would call these German white wines “Hock,” often associated with Riesling from the Rhine valleys. It denotes origin (Germany, Rhine) and style (white wine), not red wines or sparkling varieties. So the correct interpretation is that Hock is a British term for German white wine.
