| Verdict | Citrus, green apple, pear, and floral on a crisp, fizzy, minerally frame — dry, lemony, clean close. | Faint white grape, diluted peach, and a trace of pear barely sketch Moscato; a watery palate and vanishing finish leave little to hold onto. | Dealcoholized sparkling Muscat from France. White flowers, pear, and stone fruit, with sweetness the bead keeps from going heavy. |

| Likeness | Good: reads as sparkling Blanc de Blancs — citrus-apple fruit, bead, and dry clean finish. | The faint grape and peach suggest Moscato, but the water-like body and near-absence of flavor give it little wine character. | Convincingly Muscat: varietal florals, orchard fruit, and sparkling structure. Sweeter and rounder than a dry sparkler. |
