“I am not an expert in this matter, but, in my opinion, such proposals are redundant, because, whatever we call it, children on New Year's Eve see that adults traditionally fill their glasses with champagne.

Such a replacement - to fill children's glasses with children's champagne - is quite justified.

I don’t think that our children will start drinking earlier or abuse alcohol in the future, ”Bessarab said.

According to the deputy, the proposed measure is redundant and the change in the names of alcoholic beverages will not entail anything.

“At the table, the children will see it anyway.

The question of how they will relate to this is only in our jurisdiction, ”Bessarab said.

Earlier, State Duma deputy Sultan Khamzayev, head of the Sober Russia project, proposed changing the trade name "baby champagne".

In his opinion, the so-called children's champagne is a direct advertisement for an alcoholic drink and creates a dangerous associative array in minors from an early age.
