USPTO Spirits same class as wine

[Hewnspirits]

I know that we fall into the trademark classification number 33 which covers wine and spirits. Has anyone ever come up against using a trademark for spirits that is already in use as a wine? We have a great name for one of our spirits but it's currently registered by a vineyard in another country but is also registered by them in US under the same classification number 33....wine and spirits. Any thoughts??

it's not my personal experience but it is something I found a while ago when we were looking at branding and names.
