- Do not drink, you will become a kid! - these bottles wink from the shelf. - Well, or you'll get to a hospital bed!
And, on the one hand, I understand perfectly well: this is rather a far-fetched danger than a real one, but... Still, I will write: if the product has a completely unnatural appearance and color, then it is better to avoid it.
If anyone does not understand, I'm talking about pearl champagne, which has become so fashionable lately.
The prices for this drink differ at times - you can find it for "150 rubles for a promotion", glamor the entrance, you can - for five hundred, you can for a couple of thousand.
But they all have one feature in common, these drinks have nothing to do with champagne.
And even wine, in fact, they have no right to call themselves.
The European definition of wine states: it is a product obtained exclusively by full or partial alcoholic fermentation of whole or crushed grapes or grape must. For a product to be called wine, it must contain at least 8.5% alcohol.
We are not talking about any flavors, or, even more so, dyes.
And the liquid that is sold in champagne bottles sometimes did not even stand next to grapes. Which is cheaper is a beer drink. More expensive - wine (and something tells me, he has not heard of fermentation).
But it also has a dye in it. Kandurin is called.
This is a natural dye (I will not frighten with chemistry), it is obtained from mica.
And, as they say, the dye is absolutely safe - after all, mica is not absorbed by our body.
Experience (thank God, not mine) says: maybe in small doses (when kandurin is used minimally, exclusively for touching up a confectionery product with a brush), kandurin is safe.
But the amount in which it is in such drinks is a safety issue at risk. It is not for nothing that they constantly repeat that the maximum dose of such a drink is a couple of glasses. An upset stomach is a rather mild consequence of drinking this "champagne". Well, from a dye that leaves the body unchanged, such an action is normal.
But is it really necessary?
IMHO - no. Therefore, I will never buy such drinks - health is more expensive!
