Reason for article
This article was created after a great deal of discussion at the grand cru article. During that discussion, it was discovered that the term "grand cru" had expanded greatly beyond just viticulture. Wakablogger2 (talk) 09:00, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It is also not a dictionary definition. It has a wider cultural usage that needs explaining.  Oreo Priest  talk 04:07, 30 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree with Oreo Priest. For evidence, here are some citations from the grand cru discussion page when the importance of this was being discussed:


 * "Facing the intensified international competition of the 1980s and heightened fears of increasingly centralized regulation, French chocolatiers and cultural taste makers attempted to stimulate new demand for craft commodities by promoting "genuine," "grand cru," or "vintage" French chocolate. "The cultural politics of food and eating" by James L. Watson, Melissa L. Caldwell, page 145. []
 * "A campaign created by Rumrill-Hoyt depicting the drama, emotion and impact expressed with black and white photography, won the top prize Grand Cru Gold Award." "Art direction" by National Association of Art Directors (U.S.), National Society of Art Directors, page 2. []
 * When searching for these, I also found an equestrian event in Australia using the term "grand cru" and a designation for students studying food that uses the term at a US school. Wakablogger2 (talk) 20:43, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
