Other countries protect the names of wine regions, and the U.S. should follow suit. It's unfair, unethical and misleading to call any old sparkling wine Champagne! Same goes for Port and Sherry.
I totally agree, this is most critical. Drinking wine is not just about getting buzzzed but also enjoying to support the country of origins. Stupid government should know this already and make more laws!
I can't believe in the world of lawsuits, food and drink recalls, and strict FDA guidlines that companies can still get away with this. Thanks for the informative post and I'll definitely be checking labels more carefully now.
They just want to sell more of their product. This is just a shame. I doubt many people buy champagne and don't get what they expected.

I agree, anyone marketing sparkling wine as "Champagne" should be out of business; same goes for Port and Sherry.
