Can you call it Champagne when it comes from Canada? I am far from an expert but I have had such things said at me when enjoying a perfectly fine California sparkling wine.

I think that if it gets touched by a French speaking hockey player it can be called Champagne in Canada.

Couldn't find the Champagne but there some Spumante, cellared in Canada and bottled in Niagara Falls...

At least it was no Charlesmagne....
And Champagne is sparkling wine from a specific region in france (can you guess its name? champagne, exactly. ) only.
It's a protected name (in europe at least).

Now, I'm back off to my check list - you gotta know if you need to head to the petrol station to buy some last minute supplies for today's party.

Not in Canada YET
Order Amending Subsections 11.18(3) and (4) of the Trade-marks Act

With respect to wines, the Agreement stipulates that the following names will be removed from the list on the date of entry into force of the Agreement: "Bordeaux," "Chianti," "Claret," "Madeira," "Malaga," "Marsala," "Medoc," "Médoc," "Mosel" and "Moselle." The names "Bourgogne," "Burgundy," "Rhin," "Rhine," "Sauterne" and "Sauternes" will be deleted on December 31, 2008. Wine names that bear significant importance to Canadian wine producers, i.e. "Chablis," "Champagne," "Port," "Porto" and "Sherry," will be removed from the list on December 31, 2013.
So you still have a few years to buy Canadian Champagne.. and you better hurry on the Burgundy.
