‘Shampanskoye’ supply from France halted after Putin says champagne is Russian
Fox News
Renowned winemaker Moet-Hennessy said Monday champagne shipments to Russia are suspended following President Vladimir Putin signing a law on Friday saying the term champagne is allowed to be used only for “Russian champagne.”
Moet Hennessy is part of French luxury goods group LVMH and known for such brands as Moet & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot and Dom Perignon. For most aficionados, a sparkling wine can be called champagne only if it comes from the region of France with that name and is made under certain regulations.More Related News
