Hi Colin. I’m in Slovakia current and I believe the system is similar, if the 
shop sells a brand then they accept those bottles. 

I believe it’s useful information to be mapped. 

It is possible to find the machine that accepts the widest range of brands. 

One may not remember, or know, where a particular bottle was purchased. 

I agree, it will be almost impossible to find a scheme to fit every country, 
but at least some details on the wiki page would be useful :)
