Good article. I agree with John Scharffenberger - it's a Paper Tiger.

Very old, like 1991. France made some progress with the WTO and, if I
understood correctly, "Champaign" can only originate in France. Mexico
won a recent round concerning "Tequila" and the US with "Bourbon."

It's called Champagne.

OH? When? Citation?

Why? I know there's a Bourbon county Kentucky (just like I know
there's an area in France called Champagne)... but why??? It's not
an exclusive recipe.

Why not? If you are from New York, you are known as a New Yorker. If you
are from Chicago, you would be a liar to say you are a New Yorker.

It is not just Champagne, but Burgundy, Bordeaux, Chianti, Parma and on and
on.

Since you expect cites on everything, take a look at these.

Interesting article which brings up just a few little 'googly' questions:
"John Scharffenberger, whose winery in Mendocino County was purchased by
French interests last year, now is owned indirectly by Louis Vuitton Moet
Hennessy (unless there's been another change recently -- Ed.).
Scharffenberger calls his product "sparkling wine" and he said the reason
for it was "French parent company."

Am wondering if this is one of the Scharffenberger 'family' who is selling
to Hersheys?
***
"Barry Sterling of Iron Horse Vineyards in Sonoma County, said he calls his
product "sparkling wine" and ascribed his reason for doing so as "reverse
snobbery?" "

Am wondering if Barry Sterling is one of the 'family' of the "Sterling
Brothers" winery -- one of the most beautiful winery settings in Napa Valley
(IMO).
***
Am looking at a bottle of
Prosecco - Santa Margherita di Valdobbiadene "Dry Sparkling Wine" "Brut"
"Vino Spumante di Qualita"

which I bought for a recipe from Giada, Everyday Italian. By this
Champagne/sparkling wine definition, perhaps it should be called "Italian
Champagne."

Interesting site also about basmati rice. I knew something must be going on
with this tex-mex, etc. naming, but knew not what.

Thanks for the cites.

Well, call it champagne, if it makes you feel better.
