Jung's, Raintree Nursery, and Nourse Farms all sell what they are
calling 'Pink Champagne' currant.
I've got one. It grows well. The berries seem very similar to the Primus
white currant I've got, not much like the red one (Rovada, which has
bigger berries that are much more sour).
But maybe I'm not letting the white currant ripen long enough, since
those berries are also kind of pink, or beige color, when I pick them.

last years and years instead of months and months - years of low growth,
low job creation, and low investment that cost those nations far more
