The company [Miller Brewing] started referring to High Life as “The Champagne of Bottle Beers” in 1906, and then it dropped the “bottle” part of that slogan in 1969 to become “The Champagne of Beers.” Despite printing those four words on its labels for well over a century, it seemed to take Belgian Customs by surprise when a shipment of MIller High Life was received at the port of Antwerp.
According to a joint statement from French champagne trade organization Le Comité Interprofessionnel du vin de Champagne (CIVC) and the General Administration of Belgian Customs, 2,352 cans of Miller High Life were destroyed earlier this week, all because of that “Champagne of Beers” thing. More

Have all europeans become overly sensitive twats?
@Chumlee — Yes, with the possible exceptions of Viktor Orbán and Giorgia Meloni.
Sometimes, it ISN’T Miller Time.
Actually, most of the time.
No, check that. All of the time.
Screw that company and their crappy lagers.
At least Miller isn’t using trannies in their commercials.
can we still call the fish sardines even if they weren’t caught off the coast of Sardinia?
So do we call Budweister “Bud Low Life”? I can’t imagine ingest that piss water ever again- or tolerate it in my presence.
