Maybe the question is, "Do you want to enter the Lucky Draw at Sunday's Coffee for a chance to win some whisky that was distilled in Japan"?

It's NOT Champagne unless it comes from the CHAMPAGNE region of France.

Scotch can only come from Scotland.
Bourbon can only come from Kentucky.
Champagne can only come from France.
Russian vodka can only come from....

I'll give you a hit. It begins with R.

Heiney, Soviet Champagne is also Champagne unless it has been proved otherwise by court or any legal act on certain territory.
The same about japanese whisky. As you mentioned, 'Russian Vodka' is a brand different from simply 'Vodka', but still it's a type of vodka.

Re:re - japanese whisky 6 Months, 1 Week ago  
I am wondering, Hop my friend, if you mean Russian champagne... since there is no "Soviet" anything anymore. And as a side note, anything "Soviet" was not exactly known for quality... Except maybe the AK and the Hind...

Hope you are well, back in Mother Russia! Enjoy some Russian sparkling wine for me, as there is no champagne produced there! Hahaha!

Hi Scott, let me reply to you.
Here, we talk about brands as a protected name in trading, and there are many brands associated with "Soviet", and this is not related to whether the Soviet Union or Russian Empire will be revived soon or not soon.

Well, speaking about quality, we can first define the time period, commodity group, base for quality standartization and then you can give your commentaries. All goods produced in USSR were standardized according to National Standard (GOST), and many goods were exported to socialist and non-socialist countries.
Speaking about Soviet weapons, it was tested well in China, Vietnam and Korea, and perhaps it was some of its qualities that made Kennedy John believe it could be as well tested from Cuba.
Only during the economical crisis caused by domestic political problems and low oil prices in 1980s, production was reduced and quality for some product groups did not meet the standards, but claiming that 'anything "Soviet" was not exactly known for quality', you my friend show a kind of lack of common knowledge, sorry.

As a matter of fact, unless you can prove otherwise using mutually accepted logical syllogisms, there is champagne produced in Russia, of very high quality. Namely, the Soviet Champagne brand. Whatever the French say, there is no official organization staying above both Russia and France (and Russia is not a WTO member) judging who's right or wrong, if you claim this territorial principle, you should bear in mind when this principle originated and when the production started, is this principle valid on Russian territory or not and who is again eligible to issue such principles.
