Brief Answer:
I would prefer non alcoholic wine!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am happy to hear you are taking active measures to very much protect your liver. A glass of champagne, once in a while would not aggravate the cirrhosis. However, It would be preferable to just keep away from it like you have been doing for the past three year. With a non alcoholic wine present, I would recommend more of that.

Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
