Not sure about a name for the protest, but the are a number of articles out there. There’s a entertaining NYT article about a restauranteur pouring $1,000 bottles of don Peringnon(sp?) down his toilet in protest. But it’s behind a postal so I won’t link that one. But here’s another related link:

That whole anti-French movement was insane. I remember my wife and I were going to visit England (where I am from, but I live in America) that summer. And the shuttle driver (who was taking us to the airport) and I got friendly chit-chatting. Very cordial and easy-breazy. But he stopped mid-sentence and asked if I was French (because French and English accents are so similar?!). When I told him I wasn’t, he said “that’s good, because if you were I’d pull over right now and leave you on the side of the freeway!” Kind of ironic too, that driver was a black dude, so I’ve would think he’d be a bit more mindful of how stupid discrimination is.

I am going to say it. I don’t think it was real. I think they filled those bottles with red dyed water. It felt so manufactured at the time.
