TALKING POINTS ON PROPOSED CHAMPAGNE LABELING REGULATION
I.
PROPOSED REGULATION
During the middle of the first week of May, BATF will
publish in the Federal Register proposed regulations that would
allow the phrases "secondary fermentation outside the bottle,"
"fermented outside the bottle," "not fermented in the bottle," or
"not bottle fermented" as alternatives to the term "bulk
process." The term "Charmat method" may be used as additional
information to describe the process, provided it appears
immediately before or after the above mentioned phrases. The
comment period is 60 days.
II. IMPACT
The proposed alternative phrases will provide the industry
with additional flexibility in designing their labels, while
providing the consumer with an accurate explanation of the method
used in the production of champagne. The proposed regulation is
a simplification and clarification of the current regulation.
III. BACKGROUND
The current labeling regulation states that the labels for
champagne produced by fermentation outside the bottle (the
"Charmat method") must contain the term "bulk process" and that
the type size of all the words must be substantially the same
size. Last year, several producers of the bulk process champagne
(principally Gallo) petitioned the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms (BATF) for a clarification of its regulation. (Gallo
and other bulk processors wanted to use "Charmat method" instead
of "bulk process." Charmat is the name of the Frenchman who
first used the bulk process in the early 1900's). This follows a
1989 complaint filed with BATF by the National Association of
Beverage Importers (NABI), which alleged that the bulk processors
were not adhering to the regulation.

Dear
:
This is in response to your recent letter concerning
the labeling of bulk process sparkling wine designated as
"champagne".
The issue concerning the labeling of bulk process
sparkling wine as "champagne" has been a very complex and
sensitive one. The Treasury has given the matter careful study
and has met with key representatives of the differing industry
viewpoints.

A preliminary decision on appropriate labeling
appear in the next issue of the Federal Register. A copy of the
document is enclosed for your information along with a press.
statement.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, (ATF)
has proposed several phrases as alternatives to "bulk process"
to further describe "champagne" designated sparkling wine
produced by fermentation outside of the bottle. In addition, the
term "charmat method" (named after the Frenchman who developed
the technique in the early 1900's) may be used as additional
information to describe this process, provided it meets the
placement requirements proposed in the notice. ATF is also
proposing to establish a clearer standard regarding placement and
type size requirements for the optional designation on champagne
labels. The comment period for ATF's notice of proposed
rulemaking will allow 60 days for all interested parties to
submit their viewpoints.
Please let me know whenever we may be of service.
Sincerely,
Mary C. Sophos

Dear Secretary Robson:
I appreciate your taking the time to meet with us.
As I mentioned, most Americans fesl that champagne is
champagne. The process of production is of no interest to them
(research indicates that less than 1% of consumers are
interested).
However, as we discussed, antiquated government
regulations will not permit us to use the term Champagne on
Charmat products without qualifying it with a denigrating
description "Bulk Process. 11 We believe that is unfair, it
injures our businesses, and it misleads the public.
Blind taste tests (where the consumer cannot see the
label) repeatedly demonstrate a preference for Charmat champagne.
Nonetheless, according to Wines & vines, sales of U. S. produced
Charmat champagne declined more than 21% for the period 1985 to
1990. BY contrast, sales of U. S. produced champenoise champagne
have increased more than 23% for the same period. We believe
that this dramatic difference is as result of the derogatory
"bulk" labeling requirement.
It is also true that sales of French champagne in the
United States during the period 1985 to 1990 declined 22%, which
undoubtedly triggered the attack on our labels by the National
Association of Beverage Importers. However, the real reason for
the decline is not labels, but the fact that the prices of French
champagnes to the consumer have increased dramatically.
In view of the advances in Charmat technology, BATF would
end the more than 50 year old requirement of including the term
"Bulk Process. However, BATF would still require us to disclose
our production process by reference to the inventor of the
method, Charmat. Since it is over two years that we have been
engaged in a cestly and time-consuming controversy over whether
champagne can be called simply champagne regardless of production
method, we have decided to accept the BATF's position.

John E. Robson
Simply stated, we are requesting a rulemaking procedure
to update the over 50 year old regulation. We feel we should be
permitted to label our Charmat method champagnes simply " as
"Sparkling Wine, California Champagne, Charmat Method, without
the denigrating addition of "Bulk Process."
In light of the narrowness of our request, which is to
be permitted to describe our champagne by the name of the
inventor, and given the delay and expense already incurred, we
request direct rulemaking now. Under the circumstances we
believe that the additional delay, expense and complexity of an
advance notice approach would be wholly unwarranted.
There is a debate as to whether there is a difference
in the champagne produced by the Charmat method versus the
champenoise method.
The most salient learning on this subject is in the
modern research. That research strongly indicates that the two
processes are capable of making products without significant
differences. This work indicates that the critical variables in
the final characteristics of champagne are such things as the
identity of the grapes, the type of yeast, and style and skill of
the winemaker, not the size of the secondary fermentation
container.
Nonetheless, if one is to accept the argument that
there is a distinguishable difference -- then what is the
problem? Consumers who may prefer champenoise method champagne
can readily identify it by the label. Those who prefer Charmat
method champagne can readily identify it by the words "Sparkling
Wine, California Champagne, Charmat Method." These champagne
consumers then could enjoy their favorite champagne without the
denigrating term "Bulk Process."
As the decline in the sales of French champagnes in
this country accelerated, the National Association of Beverage
Importers filed an objection to our labeling procedures in a
letter to BATF dated August, 1989.
When the National Association of Beverage Importers
realized the difficulty of their position, they enlisted the
support of U.S. champenoise producers and are currently trying to
make it appear that this is a domestic controversy.
We are told that as late as last Tuesday Mr. Maxwell,
President of the National Association of Beverage Importers,
appeared before the California champenoise producers here in
California preparatory to their meeting with you, in order to
portray this as a domestic issue.

WASHINGTON
D. ALLAN BROMLEY
D. Allan Bromley is Assistant to the President for Science
and Technology and Director of the Office of Science and
Technology Policy (OSTP) in the Executive Office of the
President. He is on leave from his former position as Henry
Ford II Professor of Physics at Yale University, where he
was founder and Director of the A.W. Wright Nuclear Structure
Laboratory.
One of the world's leading nuclear physicists, he has
carried out pioneering studies on both the structure and
dynamics of nuclei and is considered the father of modern
heavy ion science, one of the major areas of nuclear science.
He has also played major roles in the development of
accelerators, of detection systems, and in computer based
data acquisition and analysis systems. An outstanding
teacher, over the past two decades his Laboratory at Yale
graduated more Ph.D.s in experimental nuclear physics than
any other institution, worldwide. He has published over 450
papers in science and technology as well as edited eighteen
books and has received numerous honors and awards, including
the National Medal of Science.
For more than two decades, Dr. Bromley has been a leader in
the national and international science and science policy
communities. As chairman of the National Academy's Physics
Survey in the early 1970s, he contributed in a central way
to charting the future of that science in the subsequent
decade. As president of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, the world's largest scientific
society, and of the International Union of Pure and Applied
Physics, the world coordinating body for that science, he
has been one of the leading spokesmen for U.S. science and
for international scientific cooperation.
Prior to his present appointment, Dr. Bromley served as a
member of the White House Science Council throughout the
Reagan Administration and as a member of the National
Science Board in 1988-1989. As the U.S. chairman for both
the Gandhi-Reagan Indo/U.S. and the Sarney-Reagan
Brazil/U.S. Science and Technology Initiatives, he led four
Presidential missions to conduct negotiations for bilateral
cooperation in science and technology.
D. ALLAN BROMLEY
Born in Westmeath, Ontario, Canada, he received the B.Sc.
degree with highest honors in 1948 in the Faculty of
Engineering at Queen's University, Ontario, Canada. He
received the M.Sc. degree from Queen's University in 1950
and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Rochester in
1952, both degrees in nuclear physics. He subsequently has
been awarded ten honorary degrees from universities in

FLEXIBLE WORK OPTIONS FOR FAMILIES
FLEXITIME
Employees can vary their starting and quitting times and/or lunch breaks
while still working a standard 8 hour day.
STAGGERED HOURS
Refers to a standard workday with a fixed schedule that falls outside the
norm - i.e., a 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. workday that is in effect every day.
FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE
A schedule that is tailored to the individual needs of an employee. For
example, working shorter hours on certain days, or different hours on a day
to day, flexible basis.
COMPRESSED WORK WEEK
An employee does a full-time job or forty hour work week in less than five
days.
PART-TIME HOURS
An employee who works thirty or fewer hours a week either on a set
schedule or flexible schedule.
JOB-SHARING
A form of part-time work which allows two people to share the duties of one
full-time position.
TELECOMMUTING OR HOMEBASED EMPLOYMENT
An arrangement where the employee spends all or part of working hours at
home. Equipment such as computers, modems, and telephones are used to
link-up the employee with the office.
FAMILY TIME:
WHAT PARENTS WANT AND WHAT CHILDREN NEED
A 1989 survey commissioned by the Massachusetts Mutual Insurance
Company found that Americans believe "parents having less time to spend
with their families" is the single most important reason for the family's
decline in our society. (Family Time: What Americans Think Family
Research Council, 1991)
*
Since 1965, the amount of time parents spend with their children has
declined 40 percent, according to data collected at the University of
Maryland.
Nearly eight of ten American men and women would be willing to
sacrifice "rapid career growth" to spend more time with their families. In
fact, nearly 75 percent of the men surveyed opted for a slower career
path where they could set their own full-time hours and spend more time
with their families. (The Best Jobs in America for Parents, Susan
Dynerman and Lynn Hayes, 1991)
In surveys by Johnson & Johnson and DuPont, employees cited flexibility
as the top family-friendly policy preferred. This preference was ahead of
on-site child care or other child care assistance programs.
*
Eighty-six percent of 7,500 companies surveyed recently had plans to
develop some kind of work/family program. (The Families and Work
Institute cited in The Best Jobs in America for Parents, Lynn Hayes and
Susan Dynerman, 1991)
*
Research by social scientists John DeFrain and Nick Stinnet found that
when 1,500 schoolchildren were asked, "What do you think makes a happy
family?," that children "did not list money, cars, fine homes, or
televisions." Instead the answer most frequently offered was "doing things
together."
