Champagne is considered a low alcohol drink, equal in strength to beer. In fact this is not true. Many have verified from their own experience that “sparkling wine” (champagne belongs to the category of which) has a rather pronounced intoxicating effect. Carbon dioxide in the composition of the drink is a kind of catalyst that promotes the rapid dissolution of alcohol in the body.
Sparkling wine lovers , like many other consumers, generously share their impressions of acquaintance with a particular brand in social networks. Recently, one of the popular topics of discussion has become: “Bolle” - champagne or ...? ”
The subject of the dispute includes both the taste and aroma of the drink, and its strength, and the presence of a hangover syndrome. Are those who believe that Bolle is champagne right?
Reviews
Opinions of light wine lovers differ in many respects. Regarding the taste of the drink: many find it extremely pleasant, delicate, combined with a delicate aroma evoking pleasant associations. Someone notes the fruity (fruity - lollipop) shades of taste, while someone considers it simply sweet and sour. There are those who call wine soda.
Judgments about the strength of the drink are also contradictory. Some ladies rejoice that the wine does not get drunk at all, while others note that, despite the ease of celebrating with "Bolle", champagne causes a severe headache the next morning. Fans of relaxing “in an adult way” speak of a drink with neglect - not their scale.
Many (mostly ladies) note that the glass with the golden Bolle poured into it looks very beautiful: champagne sparkles and light bubbles rise gracefully upward ... Men are pleased that the quality of the drink matches its price. Many are ready to recommend the drink to friends and acquaintances.
So what is Bolle after all - champagne or not?
About champagne in short: the fortress
The strength of real champagne is comparable to many wines and even some liquors: it usually contains from 9 to 18 degrees alcohol (for more information, anyone can find out in the table of wines).
The same can be said about the degree of the hangover syndrome. In this sense, champagne is ahead of many “strong” drinks with significant strength. The reason is the effect of carbon dioxide on the body: irritating the intestinal wall, it stimulates the rapid and complete penetration of alcohol into the blood.
How to drink?
In order to exclude the hardships of a hangover the next morning, it is recommended not to mix champagne with any alcohol. If you still have to, then you should not "lower the degree", but "increase" (first champagne, and then something stronger).

About the manufacturer
In 2009, Neral Group of Companies (Bashkiria) and Bosca (Italy) created a joint venture of Bosca-Rus CJSC. At this time, the construction of a factory of champagne and sparkling wines began in Ufa.
The first bottle of Russian champagne, Golden Traditions, was launched in 2010.
2010 is the time when products began to be sold in Bashkiria, and two years later, throughout the Russian Federation.
The year 2013 marks the start of the production of sparkling wine drink Bollé.
So champagne or not?
Those who wish can continue to call "Bollé" champagne. If they like it that way.
But those who carefully read the article should have paid attention: its fortress does not "reach" the fortress of the famous wine. And the quality diploma in 2015 was awarded not to Boll champagne, but to a “semisweet wine drink”.
In accordance with the rules, many manufacturers on their labels indicate: "sparkling wine." The very term “champagne” is used to refer exclusively to wines produced in France, in the province of Champagne. It is fair, isn't it?
