Every year,

"Beaujolais Nouveau has been released."

Every time I hear this phrase, I feel uncomfortable.

I think that just "alcoholic drinking water" control to limit drinking time for consumers in the liberal economy ---- "Who do you think you are?"

-----

So, I tried to research. Countries that have enacted the wine law exists in France, Italy, the United States, and the EU Union.

In Japan, based on international treaties (Paris Convention and Trips, maybe), Only "wine" is different from other foods and drinks, and privileged handled by Trademark Act, Unfair Competition Prevention Law etc,

-----

Since I was studying intellectual property,

"Only "wine", has been protected well by international law, and I have had an unpleasant feeling."

Well, wine is not just "alcoholic drinking water" but an intangible property right with regional brand values.

It is a fact that producers, communities and nations have incurred enormous costs in order to establish that regional brand,

I still think that the wine is better than Disney (USA) which is trying to extend life, by punctuating copyright law,

However, that's it, separately.
