I think with Lauterbach as minister we have quite good chances. I was honestly kind of surprised to read that they are attempting to ban supervised drinking. Didn't think the CSU of all parties would support that

What is supervised drinking?

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

In Germany teenagers between the age of 14 and 16 (which is the legal drinking age) may drink beer, wine and pearl wine in public places such as restaurants as long as they're supervised by their legal guardians. Obviously in a "reasonable" manner

Oh neat, a German AMA. What's pearl wine?

[–] nodiet@feddit.de 9 points 3 months ago

They mean sparkling wine. It's called Perlwein in German, hence the mistranslation.

What nodiet said, sorry about that. Thought I had heard or read it before

Edit: I do find some uses. A few wine sellers use it, for example this Spanish one

Also dict .cc list it as a rare noun
