There is a dispute between two champagne manufacturing companies, Sohnlein and Moët & Chandon, pertaining to whose product was used to christen Kaiser Wilhelm II’s yacht, the Meteor. Moët & Chandon was used. However, Sohnlein at first claimed their product was used and when this was proven false, claimed that they had an agreement that Sohnlein was supposed to be used but was not. George A. Kessler, Moët’s American representative, filed suit against Sohnlein for their actions.
