‘The Champagne of Beers’ leaves French producers frothing

In this image provided by Comite Champagne, cans of Miller High Life beer sit in a container after being crushed at the Westlandia plant in Ypres, Belgium, Monday, April 17, 2023. Belgian customs have destroyed more than 2,000 cans of Miller High Life advertised as the ″Champagne of beers” at the request of houses and growers of the bubbly beverage. For years, Miller High Life has used the “Champagne of Beers” slogan. Miller High Life, its oldest brand, was launched as its flagship in 1903. “But we remain proud of Miller High Life, its nickname and its Milwaukee, Wisconsin provenance,” the company said.
