| Verdict | Butter Zero's Pinot Noir is an alcohol-removed California red: bright cherry and red berry with a smooth finish at <0.5% ABV. | Research record | Cherry, cranberry, dried rose, and light earth — tart red fruit, soft tannin, moderate acidity, a slightly thin middle, cranberry and faint spice on the finish. |

| Likeness | Pinot in the fruit, not in the frame. Bright cherry and red berry sit on a thin body, and the close is smooth and brief. It reads as light red wine until the weight drops out. | Research record | Cherry, cranberry, and a light earth note read as Pinot. The palate is less convincing: tart fruit and soft tannin on a slightly thin frame. |
