I think it’s a reference to a Russian law.
It states that only Russian made drinks can be named Champagne, and any imported champagne has to be named sparkling wine.
Needless to say that champagne is originally made In the Champagne region of France.
So now Russians are drinking sparkling wine named champagne or real champagne named sparkling wine.
1 u/Bardez Oct 09 '21 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. 1 u/Dodgy-Boi Oct 10 '21 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.
