[Talk-GB] Viticultural Areas and Appellations

[Chris Hodges]

Wary of opening a can of worms around the B-word: I've seen articles 
suggesting it's going to be complicated, and far from just a matter of 
EU and UK schemes being compatible (lots of rhetoric around the common 
market, recognition of food standards, etc.).


For our purposes it's probably best to consider that similar schemes 
exist is a variety of places. and should have a common treatment as far 
as possible.


You're right of course on the French term, also commonly "AOC", and the 
wikipedia article for it has some further reading and more international 
terms
