UNESCO Champagne

As with my baker; I say 'yes' to the candidacy to UNESCO

 of the Champagne Houses, caves, and countryside.

I picked up a baguette today and it came in a packet advertising the Champagne area. See photo.

It appears that this area is wanting the fields, the Maisons Champagne, and their caves to be certified as unique.

Which they are: but only because here in France there are strict laws about where the grapes can be grown and still be called Champagne. You can make a champagne-like drink elsewhere, but you cant call it by the name. Perhaps it is just as good, perhaps not. Certainly some of the local products have done much to improve my opinion of 'real' Champagne.

But is it 'world heritage'?
Time will tell!
