French Cognac vs. other Cognac

No way. In Montréal or any other french speaking city outside of France, you couldn't stop a Cognac maker from using that name.

If you get a liquid/solid modem, there is rather expensive software that will analyse the tastes of the two and you can compare the two analyses manually or with a text comparer.

Are you sure of that? Why would French-speaking cities be different from towns and rural areas or from non-French-speaking places?

I think Champagne has lost its control of that word, but not every place has.

But I don't think Worcestershire sauce was ever restricted to Worcestershire! It's not even owned by Lea and Perrins anymore, "Worcestershire sauce has been considered a generic term since 1876, when the English High Court of Justice ruled that Lea & Perrins did not own the trademark to "Worcestershire".[1]"

Well, depending upon what the current law is in a french speaking city outside of France.

AFAIK, they all have to be from France. The rest are brandy.

AFAIK that's not true. Which is why the crap from say, NY state, is labeled sparkling wine.

Ask them, theyre here. "You can stop saying that now. Thank you."

I think there are international trade treaties with more authority than city laws, and those who violate them are suject to suit, injunction, and to pay damages. I don't know of such suits but I figure that's because everyone obeys the treaty rules.

Sparkling wine is frequently confused with Cava, Sekt and Prosecco.

You're right! I guess I don't go to the right bars, or I don't spend enogh money.

There is no similarity in that. Kiddie drinks can never be the same as a 7% 14 proof.

Well, in the Boston to Washington corridor "the right bar" might instead mean an exclusive club where expenses are paid quarterly or yearly, etc.. like on a golf course or at a retreat or in an urban area.

Also spelled Pet Matt, I think.

I used to, but I think that Dewar & Coke is better.

Polly sci got AOL founder Steve Case $1.5 billion bucks. That doesn't sound very funny to me.
