| | Champagne (province) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Champagne is one of the traditional provinces of France, a region of France that is best known for the production of the sparkling white wine that bears the region's name. | | | The Champagne fairs were a circuit of six cloth fairs in the towns of Champagne and Brie, changing location every two months and spanning the year from January to October. | | | Traditional historians have dated the decline of the Champagne fairs to the conquest of Champagne by Philip the Bold in 1273 and its inclusion within the Crown of France by Philip IV in 1284. |

| | Vino! Wine Tasting Knowledge - Champagne Explained |
| | The Champagne province made still wines until the 18th century, when Dom Perignon revolutionized the process to produce the present-day sparkling wine known as Champagne (a little production of red, white and rose non-sparkling wines is still made). | | | While Champagne is sometimes sold in larger containers like magnums (equivalent to two bottles), jeroboams (four bottles), or even balthazars (sixteen bottles), and the biggest mabuchodonosor (twenty bottles), it is best in the single bottle or magnum. | | | A Champagne bottle is the product of grapes brought from the villages surrounding the main two cities Reims and Epernay. |

| | Champagne is both a province and a wine. | | | Champagne can be sold with or without a vintage date, though if it is to have a vintage date 100 percent of the blend needs to come from that vintage. | | | The name is derived from the Latin campania, meaning plain, and the region is one of the historic provinces of France, bounded by Belgium and Luxembourg on the north, Lorraine on the east, Burgundy to the south and Picardy and the Ile de France to the west. |
