They literally aren’t losing anything just call it something else.
EDIT: And it already has a name, it’s the Glera variety.

They get 10 years of continuing to have rights to use protected names on exports to Europe and perpetual rights to use protected names in Australia, which is a highly unusually favorable deal that only Australia has received. No other European trade deal recipient has been allowed this. This is a very biased article.

Not being able to call prosecco by its name internationally is embarrasing. It’s clearly not a regional name, and is just Europeans being petty. At the same time though we are taking the piss by keeping the luxury car tax. It made some sense when we wanted to protect our auto industry, but that’s obviously not necessary anymore. If you want to tax the wealthy more then just do that directly, not with this gimmicky shit.

Am I the only one thinking that the Europeons are shooting themselves in the foot in the long run? Isn’t this basically just forcing everyone to create new brands that will compete with yours?

Even in this bias article it states the loss for the Australian economy of the Prosecco provision is $7 million annually.
Compared around $8 billion in extra economic activity annually.

Seems like a pretty good deal to me.
