For the festive table I want to buy all the most delicious and try new delicacies and drinks. I also want to please the children with something interesting. And now, during a shopping trip, you have children's champagne in your hands. What is this drink, and is it true that it can be given to children?

Sparkling Baby

Of course, in children's champagne from an adult there is only one name. Under the cork of a colorful pressurized bottle, ordinary soda with a high content of carbon dioxide languishes in anticipation of its hour. Drinks in this category are made today by various manufacturers. Accordingly, all children's champagne differs in taste and composition. The packaging does not always indicate at what age the drink can be consumed. However, not all manufacturers of conventional carbonated drinks also provide this information. It turns out that the decision to buy or not children's champagne, and at what age to give it to a child is completely within the competence of parents. Let's try to sort out all the pros and cons.

Studying the ingredients

What does it say on the label of baby champagne? Partdrinks in this category usually include sugar or a substitute, dyes, flavors, preservatives. Agree, solid chemistry and nothing useful. You should choose such drinks not by the inscription on the label, but by studying their components. The safest soda in an "adult" bottle is made from water, sugar, citric acid, and natural additives that improve the taste and color of the product. But children's champagne with a long list of artificial preservatives, colors and flavors is best left on the store shelf. Beware of sugar substitutes too. Such additives will do much more harm than just sugar.

What is the secret of the popularity of champagne among children?

Many parents willingly delight their kids with individual bottles. Why not? The drink is non-alcoholic, almost completely similar to regular soda, the packaging looks beautiful. Children love to copy the behavior of adults and imitate their parents, a bottle of sparkling wine is much more interesting than the usual Cola or Tarragon. And decorously pouring its contents into glasses will appeal to any child. As well as clinking wine glasses with a characteristic chime and maintaining small talk at the table. Many parents believe that drinking special champagne on holidays helps children develop the right attitude towards alcohol. This applies primarily to the culture of drinking. Of course, a bottle of children's champagne should be opened exclusively at a beautifully set table, at the arrival of guests, and not at the first whim of a child in the kitchen.

Is it necessaryour children non-alcoholic sparkling?

Champagne for kids causes a negative reaction and misunderstanding in some parents. What is this drinking game and why is it needed? There is such an opinion. You can teach your child the rules of etiquette at the table and make them feel like adults by serving juice, compote or mineral water in a beautiful glass. Remember your childhood, this is how we celebrated the New Year and birthdays, drinking fruit drinks from beautiful glasses and not even thinking about any special champagne. But what if the child persistently asks to buy a sparkling drink?

As you know, demand creates supply, and vice versa, an advertisement, a story from a friend or rows of beautiful bottles in a store can impress your son or daughter. You can try to explain that the label for children's champagne is specially glued so bright and interesting, and inside is ordinary lemonade. But most likely this will not stop your curious child. A good option is to buy one bottle for a sample and let the baby personally compare champagne and juice (tea, fruit drink). Most likely, the choice will be made in favor of a traditional drink, and not a novelty. Do not forget to explain to the child that you need to choose not what is fashionable, but what he likes best.
