Kiwi - a New Zealander right? So why has a French company got its arse in a twist over a wine from New Zealand labelled Kiwi White? Because they have registered the name Kiwi Cuvee...
New Zealand Herald
"The Lacheteau wine company registered the name "Kiwi Cuvee" and is prepared to sue anyone, including New Zealanders, for selling wines with the same name anywhere in the European Union. Greg Day, founder of Kahurangi Estate, said he would no longer sell his wines in Sweden even though his first shipment of 1100 cases of chardonnay sold in two months."
