CO-OPERATIVES
Of 136 co-operatives, just over 40 are commercially active, making and selling champagne under their own labels, which bear the initials C.M. As well, co-ops return bottled champagne to growers, who then add their own labels, although some co-operatives undertake this function, too.
Co-operatives press the grapes and make the wines for over 15,000 grape growers. They also provide stabilised grape juice to the Houses.
