For it to be "just about the origin", what you describe is not enough. You'd need to establish the inverse as well: that you could bring in the raw materials from outside the region, use a different production method, and still call it Champagne. That all that matters is the production region. And that's demonstrably not the case.
- scottLobster 4y agoThe origin is the only factor that has no theoretical impact on the quality of the finished product. It's a purely political poison pill for any would-be producer, which means at the end of the day it is all about the location. If I offered you a perfectly functional car, but added an unnecessary kill switch that prevented you from starting it without my express and arbitrary permission, would the deciding factor in your purchasing decision be the build quality of the engine, or that kill switch?
