Screw the french! The french of 1776 are different creatures from the sissified modern shadows.

Boycott frech champagne!! Make that a symbol!
Better yet start calling american sparkling wine, (which is the same animal as chanpagne just that the grapes are not from the champagne region of france) Champagne.

The way i see it if the french can steal the name feta cheese from the Greeks, the US wine makers can just as easily procure the GENERIC NAME Champagne to apply to ANY bubbly white wine.

The french may have their politics on the left but they keep their wallets on the right. Imagine how they would react if a bottle of Dom drops to 1/2 of what it goes for now? OR even better if they can't give the overated wine away?
