Discussion

Explanation:

Hypocritical is possessed by hypocrisy or falseness. There is nothing ‘insincere’ about what the author says here, therefore, option 4 (hypocritical) can be eliminated. Again, while asking that, the author does not make a cutting or sarcastic remark (caustic), nor is it critical (disapproving or fault-finding) although the author does point out a little fault. The author here wittily puts forth the idea that no French winemaker is ever going to admit that his wine is not as good as the best wines of California or South Australia. Since, he uses to wit to point that out, satire is the best word here.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
