Champagne (wine region)

The Champagne wine region (archaic English: Champany) is a historic province within the administrative province of Champagne in the northeast of France. The area is best known for the production of the sparkling white wine that bears the region's name. EU law and the laws of most countries reserve the term "Champagne" exclusively for wines that come from this region located about 100 miles (160 km) east of Paris. The viticultural boundaries of Champagne are legally defined and split into five wine producing districts within the administrative province: Aube, Côte des Blancs, Côte de Sézanne, Montagne de Reims, and Vallée de la Marne. The towns of Reims and Épernay are the commercial centers of the area.

Located at the northern edges of France, the history of the Champagne wine region has had a significant role in the development of this unique terroir. The area's proximity to Paris promoted the region's economic success in its wine trade but also put the villages and vineyards in the path of marching armies on their way to the French capital. Despite the frequency of these military conflicts, the region developed a reputation for quality wine production in the early Middle Ages and was able to continue that reputation as the region's producers began making sparkling wine with the advent of the great Champagne houses in the 17th and 18th centuries. The principal grapes grown in the region include Chardonnay, Pinot noir, and Pinot Meunier. Pinot noir is the most widely planted grape in the Aube region and grows very well in Montagne de Reims. Pinot Meunier is the dominant grape in the Vallée de la Marne region. The Côte des Blancs is dedicated almost exclusively to Chardonnay.

Champagne (1928 film)

Champagne is a 1928 British silent comedy film directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Betty Balfour, Gordon Harker and Jean Bradin. The screenplay was based on an original story by writer and critic Walter C. Mycroft. The film is about a young woman forced to get a job after her father tells her he has lost all his money.

Plot

The Heiress Betty (Betty Balfour) draws the ire of her father after using his aeroplane to fly to her boyfriend (Jean Braden) on an ocean liner headed to France. French customs obviously, at the time, were not favorable to such behaviors. Even for daughters of wealthy men in the Champagne business. Marriage, in France, has always been preferred to casual relationships.

Always uneasy due to seasickness, Betty's boyfriend is unable to dine with her. She notices a man watching her. He had been (briefly) watching her from a far, and sits to talk with her. Betty receives a telegram from her father who disapprovingly warns her the boyfriend is not going to be admired by her friends. To prove her father wrong she asks the boyfriend for his hand in marriage. A quarrel ensues during the trip and the two part company when it's over. The boyfriend regrets the fight and goes to Betty to apologize. He finds her excellence in chess, during a game with the mysterious man, to be quite surprising (he never took interest in her hobbies.) Another quarrel between the two is interrupted by the arrival of Betty's father (Gordon Harker). He tells Betty the family fortune, earned in the "champagne" business, has been wiped out in the stock market. The boyfriend leaves after hearing the news of their fortune. The father sees this as proof the boyfriend is only after money.

[This is for you: Fresh SNP]
[CHORUS]
Get down with the party (Wanna hang)
I'm the Big Kahuna, I got the whole shebang
I got the champagne and the ha-ha (ahhh)
You know who we are
[repeat]
I'm the Big Kahuna, maneuvres I make 'em
Tight security, everywhere I go I take 'em
Party over here, (rah-rah) me and my peeps
Hittin' the streets groovin' to roughneck beats
I keeps the flow, I'm the dawnbreaker
I'm reachin' all night, as hot as daylight in Jamaica
A ruckus - you want it? Get with the Showstopper
I'll dig ya like the mud number one chief rocker
But knock a blast for your ass like boom!
Damn, Salt-N-Pepa stepped in the room
With the La-Di-Da-Di, we like to party
We don't cause trouble, we don't bother nobody
[CHORUS]
Yeah, back up little one (whoo-ha!) cuz you know
When it come to scandalous I'm numero uno
Shakin', the record breakin', the title taken
Hot, cool and vicious, delicious, Jamaican
Big Willie, illy-silly rabbit
You need the ha-ha, you gotta have it, a habit
I'll be the goodtime dealer
The happy-go-lucky lucker, keepin' it real-a
Got the whole shebang, champagne is bubbly
Moneymakers lookin' and I like 'em black and ugly
Trust me, we be the life of the jam
Front like you don't know, you know who we am
[CHORUS]
Ladies? Where you at? Where you at?
Put 'em up - reach! Put 'em up - reach!
And where's all my fellas at? Where you at? Where you at?
Put 'em up - reach! Put 'em up - reach!
Now where's all the money at? Where you at? Where you at?
Put 'em up - reach! Put 'em up - reach!
(Yeah) North, South, to the East, to the West where you at?
Put 'em up - reach! Put 'em up - reach!
What's up? What's up? What's up? (Hey!) I'm rollin' in the big bucks
Some people say I'm "lucky", but I don't give a...
No stress, blessed, I gets down for mine
You wanna be a Pepa, too? Well it's party time
No line, V.I.P., I'm the one you wanna see
I see you, fool, what ya wanna do?
The Cartier got you fiendin', stop scheming
Before the red dots starting beaming
Go, Don Perione flow, got my playgirls, yo
Big Willie's like (ho) ready to party
Shake it with the hearty
Your body look damn good - never did it with a hood
[CHORUS]
So...so you got the drinks? Imported?
I'm with that, yeah...
I'm from Brooklyn...
