“Champagne not from Champagne France?”

Under French AOC laws, a sparkling wine can only be labeled champagne if it comes from the Champagne region. This of course doesn’t apply outside France.

“Foster (”Australian for beer”) not made in Australia?”

I don’t know if this is still the case, but at one time the Foster’s (Astrayan for Budweiser) sold in the US was brewed in Canada.

Next they’ll come after the makers of Swiss Miss instant hot chocolate and the many brewers of India Pale Ale.
