Champagne is a protected food/drink type, as is Cumberland sausage, Stilton cheese, Melton Mowbray pork pies, and I think Bakewell tart.

Aye, but they are protected because they were starting to become generic!

Yeah, many people will continue to call "champagne" esque drinks 'Champagne' even though they aren't. Champagne has been genericised.

"Font" (or "fount"), more usually.

But back on-topic:

Went into the Oxfam book shop today, as I often do, and they were giving out a book quiz sheet (unspecified "book lover's prize"), entry a quid.

Being a lover of books and quizzes I went for it.

Question 3: "Which novel by Orson Welles caused widespread panic in the USA in 1938 when aired on radio as an actual happening?"
