    Is it true that Budweiser will have to change the name of its beer in Europe?

    Question #104202. Asked by author. (Mar 27 09 8:37 PM)

    		Not necessarily.

    "Brewer Anheuser-Busch has lost an appeal to a European Union court to use the term Budweiser across Europe.

    It is a victory for the Czech brewer Budejovicky Budvar, which said it had registered the name in France, Austria and the former Czechoslovakia in 1958....

    Anheuser, therefore, could not be allowed an EU-wide trademark. The brewer is still free to sell beer using the Budweiser name under trademark agreements it holds with individual countries."

    Having lived in Worcester, MA for a time in 1997, I was always amazed when we went socialising in Boston to find that there was an area in the city where the pubs didn't sell Budweiser or any Budweiser products. I could never get an answer as to why this was. Anyone know when and why this practice started?

    Is it "Beer then wine, you'll feel fine. Wine then beer, you'll feel queer," or is it "Beer on wine, you'll feel fine"? And does anyone know why the correct version is true, if indeed it is true at all?
