I think I understand what you are saying and I am going to argue the point
with you. This is not a matter of opinions its a matter of international
law on trademarks. Is Champagne as a region protected by law as only
Sparkling wines from Champagne can be called Champagne in other countries
outside of Europe. Presently the answer is Yes. You can have American
Champagnes. Aussie Champagnes as well.

This might change one day.

But I think it might be a change for the worse. Will a Parma Ham that is
not from Parma be called Parma Style Ham. Will that make a difference.
Will French Dijon Mustard sold in the USA that is from Canada have to be
renamed to Canadian Dijon Style Mustards. Will all water producers in Evian
get to be called Evian thus reducing the Evian Trademark that exists in the
USA. Geographic Regions are far more important to wines but they do not
seem to have the same international protections. Perhaps they should and
these perceived inequities will no longer exist.

US Labeling laws as put out from the FDA are about to change for
Bioterrorism and require country of origin and much internal paperwork as to
where ingredients come from for tracking purposes. If this goes not the
label next it might look like this:

Maille Mustard, Product Of France, Seed from Canada, Glass from Germany,
Seal from North Africa, Water from Italy, Salt and Pepper from Madagascar,
Labor from Poland.....


Just understand presently that the law allows for these types of
