Good quiz, nice one - good idea to have Brexit in there too. A couple of minor spelling things: surname has no E, West Germany has no hyphen and Balkans with an S would be better. Cool stuff though.

Great quiz, but maybe accept Beaune for the French city as well, considering it's the capital of Burgundy, the other world-famous wine-growing region of France.

Istanbul was Byzantium

Now it's Istanbul, not Byzantium

Been a long time gone Byzantium

Why did Byzantium get the works?

That's nobody's business but the Turks.

Hmmm... doesn't flow as well
