  Researchers found that factors such as higher consumption of champagne and white wine, increased fruit intake, along with maintaining a positive mood, weight management, blood pressure control and improved education, may serve as important protective factors. They concluded that between 40% and 63% of sudden cardiac arrest cases could be avoidable when looking at all 56 risk factors. Their findings were published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology.
Right, champagne alone. Or getting a PhD.

Are they talking about actual Champagne or just sparkling wine?

Because the picture used in illustration shows a bottle of sparkling wine, not Champagne.
