(The coastal city, don't want to add spoilers to the quiz) is really a city worth checking out. It's like a strange mix between the french riviera and Las Vegas. One of my favorite cities!

Some very interesting architecture there. Same for Tiflis but very different style.

I wouldn't classify Abkhazia as Russian controlled, influenced sure, but I'm pretty sure most Abkhaz citizens would not be happy with the wording here.

But it is trully Russian controlled region.You may mind about Abkhaz citizens (app.150 000 people) but you don't mind about 4 mln of the rest of Georgians :)))

Very, very beautiful country. So many mountains and rivers and different landscapes in a small area. Several lovely cities. Delicious food. Friendly people. And though I got pulled over constantly, feels like a total police state driving around there, the cops were always so damn nice I almost didn't mind. Only thing that I really didn't like was that many of the roads seemed like they were built in 1930 and hadn't seen an hour of maintenance work since then. Particularly some of the roads in Kutaisi, and one of the three (which I foolishly chose) going between Tbilisi and Yerevan - easily the worst highway I've ever driven on in my life.

Please accept Batum as alternate spelling for Batumi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batum_(disambiguation))

The name was changed around the 1890's, so we think we'll stick with only accepting Batumi.

you must accept Tiblisi phonetically you are way too restrictive your refusal to accept Batum is equally sad . love reading the pseudointellectual comedy here in the comment section

i've said this multiple times, and i'll say it multiple more. if you know the answer it's perfectly ethical to google the spelling. it's a knowledge quiz not a spelling one.

Could you add some alternate spellings for Caucasus? I could've sworn it's been accepted as "caucauses" elsewhere on this site

We accept a huge number of mis-spellings for that answer already. If it's phonetically in the ballpark, you'll get the point.

In that case, perhaps Abkhasia should be accepted. It’s surely phonetically in the ballpark, or perhaps in the phonetic ballpark?

In all our quizzes, spelling is important, though we generally allow a few type-ins. Now you know the correct spelling, take the quiz again, know how to spell it, and bank the points!

I thought Georgia was called Colchis at the time? The Kingdom of Colchis?

Colchis co-existed along with Iberia for a few hundred years, but it was disestablished before the Roman Empire (27 BC), leaving Iberia within the region.

There is a mistake in the quiz. Georgian archeologists pretend to have evidence of making wine just based on seeds of grape they've found. Finding grape seeds doesn't mean that wine making was practiced in that particular area. People could just eat it. The oldest archeological site i.e. winery was found in Armenia in Areni 1 cave in 2007-2008 by a joint Armenian-Irish-American group of archeologists. That's why Armenia, not Georgia is officially known as the oldest site of winemaking, despite Georgians claim the opposite. But to be honest, 6100 or 8000 years ago no Armenians or Georgians existed yet. So, territories of both countries were populated by related to each other tribes. That's why both countries at the same time may be called the cradle of wine making but in terms of known archeological sites it's different.

From National Geographic: Georgia is generally considered the ‘cradle of wine’, as archaeologists have traced the world’s first known wine creation back to the people of the South Caucasus in 6000 BC. These early Georgians discovered grape juice could be turned into wine by burying it underground for the winter. Some of the qvevris they were buried in could remain underground for up to 50 years.

In any case, you might want to re-read the clue - it doesn't compare Georgians with Armenians, and it doesn't claim anywhere to be the "cradle" of wine-making.
