Franco Cochran · Answer 1

The BAC of champagne is approximately 12.2% while red wine has 12.5%. However, the individual's actual BAC will be affected by different factors including body size, gender, age, emotional state, and amount of food consumed.

The amount of alcohol built up in a drinker's bloodstream is measured by blood alcohol content (BAC).

Emilee Lynn · Answer 2

BAC or Blood Alcohol Content is the amount (percentage) of alcohol present in the bloodstream. Champagne contains more alcohol than most wines. The drink's bubbles makes it more quickly to get absorbed into the bloodstream. This causes a guest who drinks champagne to have a higher BAC level than the guest drinking red wine.
