Default Belgium destroys California "champagne"

Thought some might be amused by this story, which I witnessed with
much fanfare on the French news yesterday.

Belgian customs authorities destroyed over 3000 bottles of "counterfeit champagne"
from CA, labeled "California Champagne." "Of course there is no such thing,"
explained the customs official I saw interviewed.

The wine from Gallo brand André was destroyed at the cost and with agreement
of the (un-named in the reportage) owner.
