Then again that is the intention of these protectionist measures.
    WTF?

    Champagne has always been Champagne in the language that matters, i.e. French.

          You'd expect them to regulate their own economy.

          Besides, how hard is it to make the distinction between champagne and sparkling wine in everyday language?

            Apparently way to hard since it wasn't enforced for 500 years or so.
