France wants U.S. chateau out of EU
BRUSSELS – Drinking a Bordeaux wine from a “chateau” is as French as swigging Kentucky bourbon is American.
But now tempers are flaring across the vineyards of France. The United States wants to sell some of its wines in the European Union with – sacrilege – a “chateau” or “clos” label.
Is that cheating? Misappropriation? Whatever it is, the issue has the Bordelais turning claret with anger.
