Very interesting Giampiero, thank you.

In the long run, I think this ruling will help consumers since Tokay d'Alsace and Italy's various Tocai's have nothing to do with their Hungarian counterparts. I think the French have had a better response to the crisis, phasing out the use of "Tokay" and then "Tokay Pinot Gris" and investing in marketing that heralds Pinot Gris' character whereas this is the first I've heard of Tai. Incidentally, I will be in the Colli Berici next week for dinner before Vinitaly - http://www.snooth.com/search/piovene I am a big fan of the old Tocai Rosso and wish it was more popular in the US!
