Surface area devoted to Champagne production in France 1950-2022

Wine-makers need to follow many rules and regulations to produce a sparkling wine that can earn the name "Champagne." For example, only three specific types of grape (Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay) can be vinified. Most likely due to the international fame of this beverage, the land devoted to these grapes' cultivation increased greatly between the 1950s and 2010. Since then, the production surface has remained somewhat stable, around over 33,000 hectares.

酒庄在酿造能够荣获“香槟”美誉的起泡酒时，必须遵循众多规范与条例。例如，仅限于三种特定的葡萄品种（黑皮诺、灰皮诺和霞多丽）进行酿造。鉴于该饮品享誉国际，自20世纪50年代至2010年间，用于这些葡萄品种栽培的土地面积大幅增长。自此以来，生产面积保持相对稳定，约在33,000公顷以上。
