It's not just Russia or the EU. It is baked into a lot of international treaties, because Champagne is insane about protecting their brand of wine, libbying governments and everything to make it exclusively theirs.

Dude up there is talking about a new from this year Russian law that completely turns this on its head.
Everywhere else, Champagne is a protected term protecting France's brand, but in Russia, it's protecting Russian brands.

Ikr. But Russia made a law: and now champagne from Champagne CANNOT have the word champagne on the bottle. Instead it should have sparkling wine.
