Sir! You're a blackguard!

Malt whisky, Port, Cheddar, and a good solid Bren gun! (Yes I know it's basically a Czech design, but it's been properly Anglicised.)

No need for Johnny Frenchman to enjoy a comfortable life!

Champagne was actually invented by an Englishman Dr Merret in 1662 some 20 years before the French Monk copied "our " recipe.  (Your right FSN typical blackguard thing to do)   :)
Also the advanced industrialisation of England allowed us to produce bottles that were strong enough for the secondary fermentation process.

So we are now looking for the French to pay us royalties on every bottle thay have produced in the last 340 years  :D

 If you follow that  logic after the French have paid then we should pay the Italians who planted the vineyards there in the first place :D

The Italians left the vineyards behind when they retreated   , evacuated , Ran away   went home.  And anyway vines are a plant not a patentable product
