Bonus cheese trivia: Cheese can result in hypertension, stroke or even death if taken in combination with a rarely prescribed type of antidepressant medication from the group known an Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors. The older the cheese the greater the danger due to the tyramine content. Just spilled my glass of port typing all that.

Not my strongest suit, but I would use logic to go for
1d, 2d, 3d, 4c
It is pouring with rain outside, and spookily windy. Unfortunately I only have a very cheap bottle of port to fulfil the 'doubling' criteria.
Oh well, any port in a storm.
My bit of trivia connects the port and cheese. I had a friend at university, from the upper classes, who 'poo pooed' the port/cheese connection.
'You SELL port with cheese, you BUY port with apple', he huffily announced.
I just thought 'Wow, I'd just get a bottle from Tesco'!

Not drinking port so can’t claim double points
