WINE FEUD: Farmworkers stage a picket outside the offices of the French Chamber of Commerce and Industries in Cape Town, South Africa. They challenged on Friday the French governmental body, Institut National des Apellations de Origine (INAO), regarding the trademark registration of South African winemaker Charles Back of Fairview Estate and his Goats range of wines. According to INAO, the Goats range -- which includes Goat-Roti, Goats do Roam and Goat d'Afrique -- unfairly resemble the controlled appellation of the Cotes du Rhone and Cotes Rotie wine trademarks.
