Slotovino competition. Cash prize

A large cash prize, 100 South Korean Won is offered for the first correct answer to the question of which grape varieties are included in Happy Day Korean wine. As a hint, we can say that the taste of this wine is Palwinesque with Cola notes.

This article does not provide a complete answer, but says that Majuang wine is always a blend of imported and indigenous Korean grapes, and names the Korean grapes used. That's surely worth at least a tenth of the enormous prize!

Dear Bibulous,
After careful consideration we have decided that the 100 Korean Won will be yours if you can name any or all of the Korean grapes involved. If you can, be sure to let us know where to send this important sum of money.

Good luck

I think I've Googled up one grape at http://www.winepros.com.au/jsp/cda/countries/country_profile.jsp?ID=4474. It says that "The Doosan Corporation is now a leader in this market, producing Special White and Cabernet from camberbelly grapes under the Majuang brand." A lovely name for a grape variety, but it's clearly a distortion of the Campbell Early grape grown in Korea, Japan and elsewhere in Asia.

A gracious and generous ruling! If only you will autograph the note I will hang it in my cellar and forgo the luxuries I could otherwise purchase with this handsome sum. My address: Arthur Dalglish, 13909 Dowlais Dr., Rockville, MD 20853 U.S.A.

Prize received safely! I wanted to let you know, since you took the risk of sending it uninsured. Thanks again.
