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?

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
