French Surrender
Yes, we baby seal clubbers come up with the stereotypical headline for an article, don't we?
The French wine-growing area of Alsace officially surrendered to Hungary the label "Tokay" which has been used for several hundred years to designate a local variety of white.
Hungary -- where the Tokay wine region is a UNESCO-designated world heritage site -- has been pressing for decades for the sole right to use the name for its range of dry to ultra-sweet white wines, and finally won the case when the country joined the European Union in 2004.
