| Verdict | Dealcoholized American Cabernet under 0.5% ABV. Black plum, dark cherry, and cocoa in a light body, tart acid, modest tannin, a dry bitter close. | Dealcoholized sparkling Muscat from France. White flowers, pear, and stone fruit, with sweetness the bead keeps from going heavy. |

| Likeness | The dark fruit reads as Cabernet. The structure does not: too light, too tart, not enough tannin to stand in for a full red. | Convincingly Muscat: varietal florals, orchard fruit, and sparkling structure. Sweeter and rounder than a dry sparkler. |
