| Verdict | A light, gently fruity sparkler with green apple, pear, and citrus aromas, bright acidity, lively bubbles, and a slightly sweet finish. | Be Free's sparkling white: 0.5% ABV, 29 kcal per 100 ml, citrus and cream notes — the brand's toast-friendly bottle. |

| Likeness | Acidity and bubbles give it a sparkling-wine shape; the finish leans slightly sweet rather than dry. | Sparkling in the gentle fizz more than in the wine. Soft citrus, a creamy edge, a nutty hint, light apple fruit, a little sweetness, no sharp edges. The bubbles do the closing, and it is short. |
