Don't Call It A Malbec: Europe Sours On British Winery's Plan
Don't Call It A Malbec: Europe Sours On British Winery's Plan
Apr 23, 2012 6
(NPR) - A British winemaker has finally been given official approval to release a limited-edition wine made in collaboration with Malbec grape growers in Argentina, on one condition: It can't sell the wine, or label it a Malbec. Actually, it can't even call it wine at all.
The Chapel Down winery's only option for getting rid of its wine is to give it away as a sample, calling it a "fruit-derived alcoholic beverage from produce sourced outside the EU."
