Revision as of 10:47, 4 September 2006 by 138.130.173.166 (talk) (→Culture)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Passion Pop is a cheap champagne, or carbonated wine. It is produced in NSW, Australia, and comes in a number of flavours: Original (passionfruit-flavoured); Mixed Berry (strawberry with a hint of raspberry); Peach; Lemon Lime; and Suze (butter flavored).
The drink is popular amongst Australian youths (esp. female) due to its price, its high alcohol content and its fruity, fizzy taste.
Specifications
Passion Pop is produced by Golden Gate Wines, as are a number of less well-known and similarly priced drinks. Passion Pop is labeled as a carbonated 'passion flavoured' wine, and comes in 750ml bottles. The drink is 9.5% alcohol, meaning that one bottle contains 5.6 standard drinks.
Packaging
It comes in a 750mL glass champagne bottle. The stopper at the top of the bottle is made of plastic. Once the drink is resealed it will stay carbonated much longer than conventional champagne.
Culture
Throughout Melbourne, the drink has attained a nearly cult-like following amongst teenagers, with a bottle being more commonly referred to as a passion, and one's alcohol tolerance being measured by how many passions he or she can consume in one night. Whilst in Sydney, the term "Sweet Double-P" is commonly used to refer to the beverage. This name is derived from the acronym-style two PP's that form the initials of the drink.
