| Verdict | A Swedish brand's French-made sparkling Blanc de Blancs, aged 12 months in oak before the alcohol is vacuum-distilled out. Reads closer to Champagne-style th… | Dealcoholized Spanish sparkling cava under 0.5% ABV. Green apple and citrus, fine bubbles, bright acid. Solid everyday value. |

| Likeness | The oak is in the aroma before the fruit: honeyed, a little toasty, green apple and Meyer lemon under it. Velvety bubbles and a fuller body carry ripe pear, mango, and citrus. Toast and honey come back on a creamy close. | Reads as a simple cava more than as sparkling apple juice. The bead is the argument. |
