Champagne
Possibly the most famous wine region in the world, and almost exclusively dedicated to producing the AOC of the same name, Champagne is a sparkling white wine, often associated with celebrations. The marketing of Champagne is almost as famous as the wine itself, with famous artists designing bottle labels and advertising posters. Since the 19th Century, Champagne houses promoted the wine's image as a drink of royalty and the aristocracy with labels and posters touting the wealthy consumers of a particular brand.
