Champagne isn't the only drink (or food) whose geographical origin is protected. In fact, countries can make agreements with each other to protect a food's geographical origin overseas as well as at home. These are geographical indications, which give foods a protected geographical status.
Have you ever wondered what the difference between feta and fetta is? Wonder no more.
