"great for the champagne businesses in USA" - does he realize that Champagne can only come from the Champagne? There is no American Champagne...

 The US produces, among many other things, champagne outside of the Champagne region, Parma Ham outside of the Parma Region and Chianti outside of Tuscany. The US doesn't care about things like Appellation or Protected Designation of Origin. Unless it's about Florida Oranges or Tennessee Whiskey, then suddenly it matters to them, too.

In regards to champagne, isn't that due to a loophole and it only applies to a select few companies over a hundred years old, I think only a few are allowed to sell it labelled as champagne due to that loophole of an old ass treaty but newer companies aren't allowed to use the champagne name, or I have that totally wrong, Lol. Either way I think most would think California Champagne is a cheap knockoff anyway 😂
