[QUOTE="Thomas Tkach, post: 406965, member: 1422"] I think I've read that it's a myth to say that all English blends had latakia in them. Nevertheless, if what you're saying is true, you actually were being specific. Because globalization has allowed American blenders to imitate English blenders, we can continue that specificity by using the terms to refer to styles, not to location of manufacture. The exact thing has happened with beer styles. American craft- and home-brewers are imitating beer styles from England, Belgium, Germany, and Bohemia. We still use the geographical labels, but in reference to style, not to actual location of manufacture. There are even styles names that refer very specifically to geography; Northern English brown vs. Southern English brown, Munich Dunkel, VIenna lager, Dortmunder export, Kolsche, et al. Once upon a time these were just the way beers were brewed in a given area. Now these styles are brewed all over the world. [/QUOTE]
