The Belgian customs has seized a shipment of 3288 bottles of sparkling André wine (produced by the Californian producer E&J Gallo) and destroyed the bottles (se video here: Decanter). The bottles were marked with the word “champagne” on the label. In California it is still permitted to use “champagne” as the description for any sparkling wine but within the EU (and in many other countries) it may only be used for wine from the Champagne region in France. Which was the reason for the crush. reuters.com
