Our top 10 countries contest: Win a TheWineHub t-shirt



One of our new year resolutions is to give as my TheWineHub t-shirts as we can. That will be done through games, quizzes and contests here on the TheWineBlog. Well, here is the first one...

This list (posted here in alphabetical order) represents the top 10 countries (ranking of the all time traffic to TheWineBlog).
  • Austria
  • Australia
  • Brazil
  • Canada
  • France
  • Germany
  • Italy
  • Portugal
  • United Kingdom
  • United States
The first first person to put them in order (highest number of visitors to lowest) wins a "Small People Talk About Things, Average People Talk About Ideas, And Great People Talk About Wine." t-shirt!!


 Very simple rules: Post your best guess as a comment here. The first comment with the right order of countries (top to bottom - highest number of visitors to lowest) wins the t-shirt. We will ship your t-shirt anywhere in the world.

Good luck!

Thanks Warren, Julie Jen, Paul, Michael, Simona, Magnus, Annette, Bruno, Scott, Lily, and Menetto for participating. Unfortunately, none of you got it right... but feel free to try again! Cheers!

Luiz Alberto, #winelover said...

A couple of things:

1) If you post it anonymously and guess it right... there's no way we can give you a prize. Please log in to post your comments.

2) It's going to be harder than I thought... so I will start posting some clues to make it a little easier. The first clue is probably not going to help much (almost every one got it right): The United States in the number one country on the list.

3) More clues coming... so stay tuned!

Not looking for a T-Shirt but how far out were you on your first guess?

Correct Answer

USA
Australia
Canada

Portugal

My first guess

United States 0 places out
United Kingdom 3 places out
Canada 0
France 2
Australia 3
Germany 2
Italy 3
Brazil 1
Portugal 1
Austria 1

15 total places out

Lowest total score is best ;-)
