Wine And Pastries 🍷
Wine and croissants suggest a French food-and-lifestyle stereotype. That reading is reasonable because both are strongly linked with French dining and culinary tradition.

Below the answer there's a full walkthrough: the wrong turn these clues invite, the clue that breaks it open, and what each word actually pairs with.
What connects Wine, Croissants, Impressionism, Berets and Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité?
The answer to Pinpoint #805 is Things associated with France. Every clue in the set — Wine, Croissants, Impressionism, Berets and Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité — belongs to “Things associated with France”, which is the thread you're looking for.
If you got there in one or two clues, the giveaway was almost certainly Wine paired with Croissants — that combination rules out most of the categories a single word could belong to. The clue-by-clue breakdown above the fold shows exactly where each word lands.
How Pinpoint works
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Goal | Guess the category that connects all five clue words (for example, “Apple, Dell, Acer, HP” → computer brands). |
| Clues reveal one at a time | You start with one word and get another after each wrong guess, up to five — the fewer you need, the better your score. |
| Guesses | Type the category; the game tells you if you're right. You have a limited number of tries. |
| Reset | A new Pinpoint puzzle drops every day at midnight Pacific Time (3:00 a.m. Eastern). |
Solving a clue set like this one
- Put the first two clues side by side before guessing anything. Wine on its own fits a dozen categories; Wine plus Croissants usually fits one or two.
- If your first theory dies on clue three, don't patch it — throw it out. A theory that needs an exception for one clue is the wrong theory.
- Check for a shared word before you check for a shared topic. Pinpoint loves sets where every clue sits in front of (or behind) the same hidden word.
- Say each clue out loud. Homophones and phrases hide in plain sight when you only read them.
How Pinpoint scoring works
You see one clue to start and earn another after every wrong guess, up to five. Solving on clue one is the best possible result and solving on clue five still counts as a win, so there's no reason to rush a guess you're not confident in — a wrong answer costs you a clue you can't get back.
