I don't agree, when I shed some money on champagne or balsamic vinegar, I want to be sure to have the real deal and not a bland commercial copy surfing on prestigious name. AOP labels ensure that I am getting the real product I'm looking for.
I've been in Russia and tasted their Cognac and Champagne, it's nowhere close the french stuff and they know it. It really taste different.
- Spivak 4y agoSo get the one with the “made in Champage” stamp. In your defense for having the names be protected you literally called Russian sparking wine (not champagne by your definition) “their champagne.” I can’t possibly make a better case for the terms being generic than that.
