happy new year first of all. Every year one of the local shops runs this puzzle. Basically its a collection of phrases, sentences which you have to solve. Only prob is you only get the first letter of the words contained within

eg.
4 TMNT ( 4 teenage mutant ninja turtles )
the 12 d of c ( the 12 days of christmas )

Here are a few im stuck on, and would appreciate your ideas.

50 L of W in a S
21 A Y G K of the F D T
12 A of the C N Y
12000 M of W in a B
3 G of T P T D
4 L on a B and W S Z
5th A is M S S in B A

thanks again.

what did you get for
3= P in a HG

I think all the others are right but not too sure about the 50 litres of wine in a Soverign as I can't find it any where else.

This site and this says 50 litres of wine in a Sovereign

This one says a US Sovereign is 50 litres.

Is it an American quiz?

http://www.marketingwine.com/pdfs/wineindustryoverview.pdf says that a champagne sovereign is 25 litres and that a US sovereign is 50 litres. Reckon it's the right answer.
