To be fair, "Mexican Champagne" is a fair way to refer to Tequila, since both are only legit when made in the city that shares it's name.
Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico makes Tequila; Champagne, France makes Champagne, ergo Champagne is to France as Tequila is to Mexico. "Mexican Champagne"

grovesimus (01/08/2016) [-] Well champagne is the most known alcohol to come from France, so that could be applied to tequila and mexico since tequila is starting to get pretty popular in the Western world.

There's an Ontario, California. Actually, that makes Spanish Ontario a very real thing.

WAIT NO
The resulting offspring would be too beautiful for this world.

The level of autismo of this website never ceases to amaze me. It was a ******* joke, we all know Mexican Champagne doesn't exist.

Before some salty French wine makers decided to legally reserve the name Champagne, all sparkling wine = Champagne. Mexico makes sparkling wine, therefore u can perfectly well call it a Mexican Champagne... unless u are actually afraid of some kind of repercussion.

samlusiewski (01/08/2016) [-] No, Champagne is a French region, so only the wine coming from there can be called champagne. Sparkling wine is sparkling wine, like prosecco which is Italian, and therefore not called champagne.

galgawine (01/08/2016) [-] Champagne is only from the region of France of the same name. Mexican Champagne doesnt technically exist, hence Tequila. The more you know

edgecutter (01/08/2016) [-] Well...
Don't know what you fold over in freedom-land call it Or whatever your country is renowned for
At least here in Belgium, anything that is made in the same way as Champagne, but isn't made in the Champagne region of France is called Cava.

Well, not really hence tequila. Tequila is distilled agave juice, champagne is a white wine.

chris chris (01/08/2016) [-] true that Champagne is a trademarked word for sparkling white whine from Champagne, France, but all sparkling white wine is commonly referred to as Champagne. same with facial tissue is commonly referred to as Kleenex, fortified red wine is referred as port, Generic parmesan cheese is referred as Parmesan, and nanaimo style cookies are referred to as Nanaimo bars.
That is, unless you're pretentious as ****

Think in games: Champagne is a class name, and a character name also.

Actually, the Champagne region of France is one of two places in the world with the legal right to call their sparkling white wines "Champagne". The other is California, due to California's wine producers buying rights to call their sparkling white wines "Champagne".
The first of the examples you mentioned is an attempt at a concept called "genericization", the process by which words that were originally copyrighted or trademarked become available for use by all manufacturers of nearly identical products. Had the word Kleenex become genericized, all manufacturers of facial tissues would be able to market their products as "Kleenex" despite not owning the rights to call their product such.
The second two aren't as much examples of anything other than people being extremely picky. Port and Parmesan cheese aren't trademarked or copyrighted terms, nor were they ever such. They are simply specific varieties of wine and cheese. It's important to differentiate between varieties of such varied products as wine and cheese. For example, if we had no names for different cheeses, some idiot would put Parmesan on a pizza instead of mozzarella.
The final one is one I've never heard of. Must be a regional thing.

actually Portugal does have the rights to port wine, thats why the only wine labeled 'port' comes from Portugal, otherwise its called 'fortified red'. and although Parmesan does not have the rights to the cheese yet, last i heard they are going through the works to get it done, i think they sued the company 'Kraft' about it. and you should really check out Nanimo bars, kuz they're ****** amazing
anyways... moo point. because like i said, just because companies or countries trademarked it does not mean that people use the words for the specific regions, they use the generalizations of the words

Champagne obviously comes from France, but they make variations elsewhere, primarily California. Obviously Champagne from France is the best
