Is there such a thing as a region called Agile in france? Or am i missing out the point of the joke?

    I guess it is a reference to champagne. If wine does not come from the region "Champagne" it is not allowed to be called Champagne but just white wine. Even if it tastes just the same.

    just white wine

    Come on you're going to hurt the wine snobs with this statement. Champagne is a sparkling wine, it doesn't taste like any white wine. It's more like a bitter Sprite with alcohol in it.

    Same with Cognac and Armagnac. And Port. And probably a bunch of others.

    It's a meme format (a snowclone), of the form "It's only X if it comes from the X region of France, otherwise it's just sparking Y". The original was talking about Champagne (and sparkling wine), which is why it's France.

    There's lots of versions out there, of varying quality.
