Generally there are 1 or more of these within an Anbaugebeite and the Beriech name will generally always appear on the label.
If you are interested in more please see the list below

Germany - Anbaugebiete
In Germany there are two Quality Wine levels
There are 13 Quality Anbaugebeite (regions) in Germany. For a wine to be a QbA it must come from one of the 13 Anbaugebeite, blending from another Anbaugebeite (region) is forbidden.
Pradikatswein wines must come from one of the 13 Anbaugebeite (regions), but also this is a higher quality so must come from a single Bereich ( a district inside an Anbaugebeite (region))

Acker Merrall & Condit, the world’s premier wine auction house, announced it will auction two of the oldest and rarest bottles of wine in the world – Champagnes recovered in 2010 from a 19th century shipwreck off the Åland Islands of Finland.This unique auction will feature two single bottles, one each from the legendary houses of Veuve Clicquot and Juglar. These vintage Champagnes, which date to the early 1840s and are thought to be the oldest Champagnes for sale in existence, are among the most exciting discoveries ever in the world of wine.
According to the Telegraph UK newspaper, a champagne with the name Prince William was produced by Alexander Bonnet to mark the Royal Wedding - on April 29 - of Prince William and Kate Middleton and was launched in UK at Tesco stores for £24.99. Lucky Prince William, good luck with married life !
