Ha! Diogenes, I hadn't thought about the faux ami connection with etiquette... I wonder why on Earth we use that word in English for the reason that we do.
Ken, I love these labels. And... a Grand Cru, eh? Special occasion, that bottle?
We buy that Montaudon champagne often in the supermarkets here in Saint-Aignan. It's one of the least expensive champagnes at between, say 14 and 18 euros a bottle.
Interesting...I'd no idea that labels is etiquettes. Which means something else in English, so that's what they call a language false friend?
ReplyDeleteHi D. Well, it is not, because the French word étiquette has also the same meaning in French as in English. LOL Look at CNRTL
DeleteThanks for this chm! Interesting I checked, you are right it has multiple meanings.

All the grapes grown on the territory of Bouzy are classified as Grand Cru, as are the wines made with them. The next step down is Premier Cru.
DeleteLove the labels, especially the last one with the M.
