Our team won the Wine and Wisdom again.
Sorry if we embarrassed the question setter but you can't ask questions when you don't really know the answers e.g.
The Prado, the Uffizi and the Musee D'Orsay are not all in one city, and
If you ask "Which country has a name starting with 'A' but not ending in an 'A'?" you should realize that there is more than one possible answer.
We tried hard to restrict our lead when it was becoming embarrassingly large but we forgot to allow for the incompetence of the other teams.
However the object of the evening was achieved - we all raised a significant amount of money for the club.

PS. By the next Wine and Wisdom I'll have my new hearing aids. We might get to be even better when I can hear all the questions.
PPS. Countries beginning 'A' but not ending in 'A'? -
The quizmaster expected the answer Afghanistan but also possible are Aden, Abu Dhabi and Azerbaijhan. There are more if you use the name of the countries in one of their official languages e.g. Algerie and even more if you use other languages e.g. Angleterre, Allemagne...

), and there won't be a business open anywhere until the snow's gone. Good thing, too...people here don't know how to drive in it.
By the way I love your signature.
