I frankly don’t care whether they rename drinks and cheeses because Europeans hate that their stuff is inferior to local products. Well, except Feta - the Greek stuff is amazing.
In general, we’ll happily keep buying the same brands we already buy and it’ll mean diddly squat for sales of imports.
I’m not sure what the real sticking point of a trade deal is, it probably has something to do with politics. I’m not even sure why we want a trade deal - the EU is very far away, and if we’re talking food, that’s a lot of transport carbon to offset in with direction
What products are the sides really wanting to trade? Are they after our dirt?

Just rename them parmesaun, fetau, proseccau. Problem solved!

Yes, if you make some knock off Parmesan with a knock off name it’s not an issue.
