For the record, COHLINE is an independent company, not related to Continental. It could be possible that Conti is buying and rebranding COHLINE hose, though. COHLINE production for these hoses is primarily in Eastern Europe (Romania and Czech Republic). There have been issues with COHLINE quality before and, personally, I would avoid them. If your hose was actually a Conti, I would be more surprised at this failure, but it happens. Ethanol is an issue, but typically at 10% or less this shouldn't be a big deal. If your gas has 15% E, that's another matter...
