Where is the elves wine made?
From The Hobbit: "The wine, and other goods, were brought from far away, from their kinsfolk in the South, or from the vineyards of Men in distant lands. " "It must be potent wine to make a wood-elf drowsy; but this wine, it would seem, was the heady vintage of the great gardens of Dorwinion, not meant for his soldiers or his servants, but for the king's feasts only, and for smaller bowls, not for the butler's great flagons."
What are hobbies that the elves enjoy in The Hobbit?
They are talented craftsmen
Why did the elvish-looking folk disappear when the dwarves went running into their camp?
If you are referring to the book "The Hobbit," we aren't told exactly. We do know that elves and dwarves had a long-standing grudge against each other. But it does seem as if the elves were trying to trap them, or at least to create an excuse for taking them prisoner. The elves in "The Hobbit" were more like the elves in Celtic folklore - silly, tricky, deceitful little fairies - than the regal, mysterious elves in "The Lord of the Rings." Legolas was a Mirkwood elf, one of the people that the dwarves encountered in "The Hobbit," and was not considered the equal of the Lorien elves.
Why were the travelers actually glad to be captured by the Wood-elves in The Hobbit?
They were tired and hungry with no food or water. At least with the elves, they were fed.Because they had lost their way in Mirkwood and were on the brink of starvation.
In the book 'The Hobbit' are the Lake men and the Wood elves relatives?
No. There would be some reference to the Elves and Men mixing there. But there is not. They are separate races, and though they trade, they are not related.
