A flat, open landscape with few trees or hills, especially a plain used for farming.
From Old French 'champaigne' meaning open country or field, derived from Latin 'campania' meaning countryside. The word evolved to describe the characteristic landscape of the Champagne region in France, though it can refer to any flat agricultural plain.
The word 'champagne' (the wine) and 'champaign' (the landscape) are actually related—they both come from the same Latin root for 'field.' The Champagne region got its name because it's a wide, flat plain perfect for growing grapes, so the wine inherited the landscape's name!
