| Verdict | Lyre's Classico is a canned sparkling wine alternative: green apple, pear, and citrus, off-dry, with a lively bead. The middle stays simple and the finish do… | Ripe dark fruit and spice meet a sweet, juicy, frothy palate, with freshness balancing the sweetness and a fruit-led close. |

| Likeness | Closer to a light Prosecco-style aperitif than to Champagne. A sparkling fruit-and-botanical drink, not a wine analogue. | — |
