Pomagne Print Advertisement 1918
Pomagne was a brand of cider produced by H. P. Bulmer, Bulmers in the United Kingdom. It was first marketed in 1906 under the name "Cider De Luxe". In 1916, it was renamed Pomagne. It was originally produced by the Sparkling wine production, ''méthode champenoise'' using only the juice from the first pressing. Bulmers marketed Pomagne as "champagne cider" until Bollinger took it to court over the use of the term "champagne" in 1974. Bulmers won the case, but stopped using the ''méthode champenoise'' in 1975 and changed to making Pomagne by bulk fermentation in a 6,000-gallon tank. The drink was referenced in the BBC sitcom ''The Royle Family'', along with the Snowball (cocktail), Snowball. Pomagne was discontinued at some point prior to 2013, at which time Bulmers stated it was not planning to re-introduce the drink.

Sparkling Wine Production
Sparkling wine production is the method of winemaking used to produce sparkling wine. The oldest known production of sparkling wine took place in 1531 with the ''ancestral method''. Pressure and terminology In popular parlance and also in the title of this article the term ''sparkling'' is used for all wines that produce bubbles at the surface after opening. Under EU law the term ''sparkling'' has a special meaning that does not include all wines that produce bubbles. For this reason the terms ''fizzy'' and ''effervescent'' are sometimes used to include all bubbly wines. The following terms are increasingly used to designate different bottle pressures: * ''Beady'' is a wine with less than of pressure. * ''Semi-sparkling'' is a wine with of pressure. ''Semi-sparkling'' wines include wines labelled as Frizzante, Spritzig, Pétillant and Pearl. * ''Sparkling'' is a wine with above of pressure.

Bollinger
Bollinger () is a French Champagne house, a producer of sparkling wines from the Champagne region. They produce several labels of Champagne under the Bollinger name, including the vintage ''Vieilles Vignes Françaises, Grande Année'' and ''R.D.'' as well as the non-vintage Special Cuvée. Founded in 1829 in Aÿ by Hennequin de Villermont, Paul Renaudin and Jacques Bollinger, the house continues to be run by members of the Bollinger family. In Britain, Bollinger Champagnes are affectionately known as "Bolly". History Bollinger has roots in the Champagne region dating back to 1585 when the Hennequins, one of the Bollinger founding families, owned land in Cramant.

The Royle Family
''The Royle Family'' is a British sitcom produced by Granada Television for the BBC, which ran for three series from 1998 to 2000, and specials from 2006 to 2012. It centres on the lives of a television-fixated Manchester family, the Royles, comprising family patriarch Jim Royle (Ricky Tomlinson), his wife Barbara (Sue Johnston), their daughter Denise (Caroline Aherne), their son Antony (Ralf Little) and Denise's fiancé (later husband) David (Craig Cash). The series features simple production values and a comic portrayal of working-class family life at the turn of the millennium. It therefore has something in common with kitchen sink drama. Almost all of the episodes take place in the Royles' home, largely in the telly-centric living room, with the humour derived from the conversations held therein. Aherne and Cash co-wrote every episode, along with Henry Normal (series one), Carmel Morgan (series two), and Phil Mealey (five Christmas specials). The later specials are presented ...
