Gbye tawny: Traditional Expressions allowance withdrawn
Posted: 01:23 Thu 21 May 2009
So the news today is that the EU withdrew from an agreement with the US on what could be on the labels of US exports to the EU.
These "Traditional Expressions" were allowed for a while, but are now withdrawn: chateau, classic, fine, late bottled vintage, noble, ruby, superior, sur lie, tawny, vintage, vintage character
Wow, seems like that's a lot of port language. So where's Port? Well, it's on the list of "semi-generic names" and I've no idea what the story is with that
