Region is known for French wine and cheese wraps (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

province

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'region' is the definition.
(I know that province is a type of administrative district)

'for french wine and cheese wraps' is the wordplay.
'for' becomes 'pro' (as in being 'pro' something).
'french wine' becomes 'vin' ('wine' in French).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'cheese wraps' becomes 'ce' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'pro'+'vin'+'ce'='PROVINCE'

'is known' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for province that I've seen before include "Division of a country - field of interest" , "Administrative district of country" , "Territorial division" , "Administrative division of a country" , "Ulster, Munster, Leinster ir Connaght" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
