Not by everyone (Australians and Spaniards have for a long time used lots of American oak). I only use French oak because I think it's the best. The same trees grow in places like Hungary and Russia, but they don't seem to taste the same to me (others would disagree for sure) The French would tell you that where the tree grows makes a big difference.
American oak is a different oak species and tastes quite different. American oak can come from Virginia, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Oregon, Missouri and some other places too.
