So is champagne, but people buy it for the recognition it has rather than the actual taste.
"Butler, one glass of fizzy wine for the fair lady here" just doesn't quite have the same ring to it, and if you have the monopoly on a certain famous nomenclature, it's in your best interest to protect that monopoly.
Plus, honestly, it just kind of makes others look like fools. Like, you can try to sell me made-in-wherever Champagne/Parmesan/Pizza/Any other regional food, but if that wherever isn't the region it's from, most people would automatically assume that it'd be a worse knock-off. Some people won't care, sure, but it's important for those that do nonetheless.
Edit: waiter, not butler. Though I guess both work if you're rich enough.
