The great English wine name debate

I'm not keen on so much French terminology and naming in English wine production.
We have borrowed a lot from them in terms of wine making, but it just feels a bit phony and like mimicry for everything to have a French name.
However it probably does help sell the wines. The French language is ingrained in Anglophone winemaking and there's probably no changing it. English names don't sound as good as French ones.

Why not call it "BritFizz"?It's "snappy", easily pronounced and remembered. It allows producers in all four British countries to make it. Any other blurb can be put on the back label for additional edification for the consumer.

Fizz or Pop have a long history! Saffers tried "Kaapse Vonkel" and "Cap Classique" neither of which is great. Linking "Sparkling wine" to counties might also enhance the sense of "Terroir". No English word for that either!

@Thomas. I agree with you although being from Champagne myself I would not say that these 2 brands are better than 90% of all champagnes. I'd say that a lot of champagne brands have lower awareness in the UK, but I think they (English Wine producers) want a common name to attack world markets where a lot of champagne brands have better awareness than these 2.

'Britagne' pronounced Britannia?? That would be fine if we called Champagne 'Shampannia', but we don't. Merrett is the recognised brand of the rather excellent Ridgeview - let's keep it that way.
It is clearly the silly season - the whole argument is irrelevant. Champagne is so called because it comes from Champagne. Prosecco is so called because it is made with the eponymous grape. English wines in general are only just beginning to get the recognition they deserve - why stymie that recognition by bringing in confusing and vacuous 'appellations'?
Summer is nearly over - so with any luck non-news stories such as this are also near their end.

Neither will happen. I can guarantee it. Both are stupid ideas. Its all about brand. The Aussies, Kiwis, Saffers and Americans dont have it, and we dont need it. Chapel Down Ridgeview and Nyetimber all have good brands. Better than any "prosecco" or "cava" and better than 90% of all "champagnes". Without them, its pointless.
