It's a protected label in the EU

I still haven't decided if I approve of protected labels.

So then if a Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland...

I mean the standards of taste and quality

Just how I think about things then

There's nothing snobby about protecting a brand which makes a lot of money for your country.

I didn't say that it was snobby to do that.

Why should they have to label it that?
