Why do the Champagne houses not control more of the Champagne vineyards?
  1. The law forbids it.
  2. The vineyard owners are not willing to sell.
  3. The Champagne houses do not want to farm the land.
  4. The Champagne houses already control nearly all of the vineyards.
Explanation
Answer: A - The law forbids the Champagne houses from controlling more of the Champagne vineyards. The Controlee des Structures is a law that forbids a company from owning or renting more than 37 acres to farm. There are some firms that own more than 37 acres; however, they acquired the land before the law was passed.
