So what?

 

[Lord Tammerlain]

I suspect there would be alternative labels produced for when that product is sold in Russia.

However the real move is that it looks like Putin, if he is doing stuff like this, is trying to find ways to build up the local economy.

The sanctions on food exports to Russia has been good for the Russian economy, it has drastically improved its agricultural sector with mass increases in grain production and I expect increases in meat production as well

Accusing people who are right of "TV.ru propaganda" is a stupid idea.

He is right. Sanctions have led to a bump in local industries.

France has strict rules protecting its bubbly, meaning to be called champagne it must be from the French region that shares the name.
But under Russia's new law, only local producers can call their drinks "shampanskoye" - the Russian equivalent of champagne.
France's main champagne industry group called the law "unacceptable"."

[Nilhus]

Lots of disinformation propaganda from a childish anti-Russia troll...

What happened is a bit different:

But under Russia's new law, only local producers can call their drinks "shampanskoye" - the Russian equivalent of champagne.
[...]
French producers are still allowed to use the word champagne on the front of bottles, but the use of "shampanskoye" is allowed only on local produce.

Here are some people who want Prussia, Alsace and Silesia back - and everybody else thinks : What? -

Not even being German, I'll certainly support taking back Alsace.

Mainly for the cuisine.
