no i know my facts, you should learn about these things... there are reasons why US copyrights are ignored.
from wikipedia:

The United States bans the use from all new U.S.-produced wines.[3] Only those that had approval to use the term on labels before 2006 may continue to use it and only when it is accompanied by the wine's actual origin (e.g., "California").[3] The majority of U.S.-produced sparkling wines do not use the term champagne on their labels [15] and some states, such as Oregon,[16] ban producers in their states from using the term.

thus, US manufacturers that were labeling their sparking wine as "champagne" are still allowed to, as long as they list their location.
