According to the decree, an advertisement for sparkling wine appeared on one of the Youtube channels, the distributor of which is Ksenia Anatolyevna Sobchak, an individual entrepreneur. According to advertising legislation, it is forbidden to advertise alcohol on the Internet. In addition, there should be a label reminiscent of the dangers of alcohol consumption.
