producto de referencia
Explanation:
Otra posibilidad. He buscado la fuente, que habla del mercado del jerez en Estados Unidos a principios del siglo XX. La cuestión es que el producto nacional (el "jerez" producido en EE.UU.) estaba teniendo algo de éxito, pero el de importación seguía dominando el mercado:

"Imported sherries, as well as some other wines, are finding active competitors among domestic wine makers. There was a time when American consumers believed that only imported wines were worthy of their consumption, biit during the past decade the efforts of American producers to convince consumers that their wines have merit have borne fruit. The imported sherry, however, has a strong hold in this market, and the great majority of shippers have taken pride in the wines they have exported, with the result that imported sherry remains a standard commodity."

Es decir, que para mí la idea de "standard" en este contexto es la de un referente, una norma con la que el público comparaba el producto nacional; consideraba que el jerez de verdad era el de importación. Me parece que "de referencia" puede expresar esta idea.
