it's not 'champagne' unless it's from the Champagne region in France. And it's definitely not champagne if it's beer.
By Elaine CobbeIt doesn't matter if a drink is bubbly — it's not"champagne" unless it's from the Champagne region in France. And it's definitely not champagne if it's beer, as American beermaker Miller found out, to its cost.
Goods cannot be imported into Europe with the name"Champagne" if they are not produced in the Champagne region. The European Union has a system of protected geographical designations that was created to guarantee the true origin and quality of artisanal food, wine and spirits, and to protect them from imitation.

'The Champagne of Beers' leaves French producers frothingBelgian customs have destroyed more than 2,000 cans of Miller High Life, advertised as the ″Champagne of Beers,” at the request of houses and growers of the bubbly beverage. The Comité Champagne — the body protecting the Champagne designation — asked for the destruction of a shipment of 2,352 cans on the grounds that the term infringes the protected designation of origin “Champagne.” The consignment was intercepted in the Belgian port of Antwerp in early February.
