Two to go. Clue: one Bordeaux, one Rhone. (I'm relieved Gamay's been answered, as I couldn't have given its region without giving it away).

Thanks for the edification, Stitchy and Daithi.

I'm off to bed now, and if no one gets the last two overnight I'll reveal them tomorrow. Bilbo, go ahead and pose a question in the meantime if you like.

A little bit more general knowledge then;

1. According to the World Health Organisation, of the top 10 causes of death in the world, only one is not a disease or disorder of the body. What is it?

2. Which band sang; "City girls just seem to find out early how to open doors with just a smile"?

3. The most expensive painting in the world was sold for an estimated 250 million dollars in 2011. Who was the artist (bonus for the name of the painting)?

4. What do the following US Presidents have in common; Andrew Johnson, Chester A. Arthur, Theodore Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson?

5. What is the relevance of the following list of names, and what would be the next name on the list; Charles, William, Henry, Andrew?

Good luck!

1. Car crash?

3. Van Gogh?

4. All became President without being elected?

5. Beatrice? It's the line of accession to the UK throne starting from the top.

1. I'm not sure which to guess, so I'm guessing car accidents, but if that is wrong I'm guessing again with malaria.

Now you've said it, I'm pretty sure malaria is right.

It is car accidents. Malaria is a disease, is it not, so not a valid answer anyway.

1. Yes

3. No.

4. Not specific enough!

5. Yes, to both.

Right, just a recap because lots of answers came in at the same time and I got a bit confused

Orlok: 3 points
Daithi: 2 points
Red_Phoenix: 1 point

Only number 4 left open for a more specific answer.
