Belgian customs have destroyed almost 2,400 cans of US-brewed beer bearing the slogan “The Champagne of Beers”, France’s Champagne Committee said Tuesday (18 April), in the latest episode around the bubbly’s fiercely-protected designation.
The cargo of 2,352 Miller High Life cans was seized in the port of Antwerp in early February but only destroyed on Monday, the Comite interprofessionel du vin de Champagne (CIVC) said in a statement.
Miller’s slogan “represent(s) an infringement of the protected designation of origin Champagne,” it complained.
