Often, under the guise of sparkling wine, stores sell drinks based on fruit raw materials with artificial carbonation, water and flavors, according to Roskachestvo. By strength, such alcohol is usually 7-9%.
According to Roskachestvo specialists, it is now easy to identify a surrogate on the shelves: according to the law, it must have the inscription: “The product is not wine.” “However, it will be useful to read the information on the counter-label. According to the law, the place of origin of the grapes must be written in large letters on it. For example, Kuban or Crimea. If there is no such inscription or the text under a magnifying glass cannot be discerned, this is not wine at all, ”the experts note.
When buying inexpensive wines at a price of up to 500 rubles, it is worth paying for the date of bottling, advise in Roskachestvo. “It is best if white or inexpensive sparkling wine is bottled no earlier than six months before drinking, and red one a year. This, of course, does not apply to expensive collection wines, which can be stored in a bottle for years, ”experts say.
