Will the pure-bred wine please stand up.

Dogwalker, there are regulations somewhat like what you describe in wine regions in Europe. For instance, regs prevent certain areas from growing any grapes other than the prescribed for that region. Other regs demand when and how the grapes must be harvested. Still other regs prevent vineyard expansion. These regs are part of the reason for case prices in places like Burgundy that exceed the monthly rental of an apartment on the Champs e Lyse or is that Elyse?.
