arXiv:2608.20106v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce OenoBench, a wine-domain knowledge benchmark of 3,266 multiple-choice questions across six pillars (regions, grape varieties, viticulture, winemaking, producers, business) and four difficulty tiers. The corpus is built from 38,104 atomic, source-anchored facts extracted by 35 provenance-verified scrapers from government registries (INAO, TTB, OIV), peer-reviewed journals, and Wikipedia/Wikidata. Our methodological contribution is an LLM-driven pipeline in which language models reformat verified facts and audit the result, but never serve as the source of truth: every claim traces to a URL, every question is generated by one of five strategies across five generator families, and every question is scored by a nine-agent audit calibrated against a human gold sheet via Cohen's kappa. Evaluating sixteen frontier configurations, we find: (i) overall accuracy spans 53%-84%, led by o3 at 83.6%; (ii) reasoning-mode lift concentrates in DeepSeek R1 (+6.8pp) and is absent in Claude Opus and Gemini Pro; (iii) Anthropic shows +9pp self preference on its own questions while Google shows -8pp inverse preference; (iv) frontier open-weight models share the cost-vs-accuracy Pareto frontier with proprietary reasoning models; and (v) every config gains around 33pp on closed-book solvable items, revealing a parametric-recall ceiling that only the contextual slice avoids. We release corpus, audit findings, human-review app, and construction code under CC-BY-SA-4.0.
