> Rather problem is it won't be successful since people recognize "champagne" and they will order that. It could be successful if these people stop being snobs and educate themselves a bit. For instance I like Prosecco, not Champagne sparkling wine. But since the former is not a protected designation of origin, I have to revert to buying DOC or DOCG, look for Conegliano, Valdobbiadene or Milesimatto on the label. If a large wine producer from say Germany would start slapping these words on Sekt labels and flood the EU market with the product, how would I be able to tell the difference without buying and tasting the product? Luckily, the Germans like it extra dry and are proud of their own product, which is great.
