Women. The same ones that liked Babycham, ie poseurs Whistle

Or, renamed to "Festival Strength Brothers Pear Cider" and marketed to a very different demographic of poseurs.


I didn't write that bit about "poseurs". You have obviously been at the Babycham and are completely sozzled. Don't drink that Snowball!!!

Wow. You're right. From Wickypeedia:

Brothers Drinks Co. Limited was started in 1992 by four Showering brothers, whose parents were involved with the production of Babycham from the 1950s. ... In 1995, Michael Eavis offered the Brothers space for a bar at the Glastonbury Festival,[3] near the Jazz World Stage, but with sales restricted to Perry-based drinks. When the offer of “Perry” was met with little understanding the Brothers would describe it as “like cider but made from pears” and after repeating this tens of thousands of times the shorthand “Pear Cider” was introduced and understood."

So they're the people responsible for the outrage of the name "pear cider". Bah! The original strengrh of Babycham was I think 7%.....

Prosecco is generally pretty bad. I'm sure nice versions exist but its basically Italian Cava.

Champagne for me if we want sparkling wine, possibly english sparkling but again you pay a lot for english sparking which is often not really as good as champagne or if it is, its more expensive.

Source: being a massive wine snob and buying and trying lots of wine.

I thought it was about double that in the 1970s, IIRC many a Nan/Auntie lost their licence driving home from a Christmas 'do' after just sticking to BabyChams.

Anyway OP, only fizzy wine worth touching is the French stuff. I'd rather have a Guinness any day myself.

The BabyCham deer used to stand on the factory roof in Shepton Mallet. I remember looking out for it when we went to visit my Nan.
