US in trouble over wine labelling (US) Europe is embroiled in a war of words over wine after banning imports of United States bottles labelled 'chateau', 'clos' or 'vintage'.

Worried members of the US Congress representing 10 winegrowing states, are urging the US trade ambassador to resolve the dispute. |
