The thirth wines comes from Marocco, Volubilia Rouge is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon with Syrah, Mourvèdre and Tempranillo and is produce by Domaine la Zouina and imported to Ireland by Le Cauveau from Kilkenny. The next wine comes from Slovenia and is produce by Domaine Ciringa in Stajerska Slovenia a major subregion of eastern Slovenia's Podravje wine region, very well know from amazing Slovenian Sauvignon Blanc.

The fifth wine is produces at Mediterranean island of Cyprus, very well know from sweet wine made of Sun-dried grapes of Xyniesteri and Mavro and is called Commandaria, however some amazing tables wines are also produced at this beautiful island, such as family owned Zambartas vinery ad their Shiraz & Lefkada blend, imported to Ireland by The Corkscrew Wine Merchants. Armenia is on of the oldest producing countries in the world and is divided into 6 regions Ararat, Armavir, Aragatsotn, Tavush, Artsakh and Vayots Dzor and the avarge altitude of the vineyards in Armenia is over 1500 meters above the sea level.
