CROATIA, 2013/07/03
With Croatia's entrance into the European Union on July 1, a dispute may arise between Italian and Croatian wine producers on the marketing and sale of two wines - the Italian prosecco and the Croatian proshek - with names similar enough to potentially confuse consumers but which are entirely different.
Croatian proshek is a sweet, mild traditional Dalmatian wine normally served next meals and is made from raisins. Italian prosecco is instead a D.O.C. white wine which by presently enjoys EU protection and is produced in the Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia regions.
