John, one thing the languages of "old Europe" have is an amazing ability to compact meaning:

"Moet" in four small letters manages to convey the concept of "a once proud family winery of high quality now owned by a multi-national luxury conglomerate and producing truly industrial product while spending YOUR money to convice you it is something good". Breathtaking linguistically, heartbreaking on the wine front.

The name is Dutch and your should pronounce the "t".

Roberto, evangelist of the fruits of La Champagne verite
