could it be 'chleba i wina'?

Well... it could work, but I think in English it would rather be "some bread and wine" then.

In case anyone is wondering, that is the partitive meaning of the Genitive case - with uncountable (usually) nouns it has the meaning of "some".

It doesn't accept "Możecie przynieść chleb i wino?"

That's a big oversight. Obviously this is perfectly correct. Added now.

It didn't accept Wy możecie przynieść chleb i wino in multiple choice. Should it have done?

Hmmm... I think it shouldn't have proposed such answer, as it's an accepted answer but not a starred one. The 'wrong' answers should just be wrong. I changed something, now it should demand "Czy możesz..." and "Czy możecie..." - maybe this time it will be okay.
