Smack talk from a quiz host?

I totally guessed the cheese quiz. And I only guessed two of my port answers so I'm improving.

@wolfgang59

We've had the cheese quiz, now port, does that mean the next one's on gout?

I think the next request was for "sandwiches".
Your request for a specialty quiz on "gout" will be given due consideration, filed and binned.

It’s quite ironic that the port round of the pub quiz has the least entrants so far.

135 000, bishop, 10%, Porto

Have to admit I also told a fib in the last quiz, to shoehorn in my awful 'any port in a storm' joke. Does that count as a 'port trivia', he asks desperately!
