| Verdict | Dealcoholized Spanish sparkling cava under 0.5% ABV. Green apple and citrus, fine bubbles, bright acid. Solid everyday value. | French alcohol-removed blanc de blancs from Villa à la Mer. The process is published. The glass is a gentle bead and very little flavor. |

| Likeness | Reads as a simple cava more than as sparkling apple juice. The bead is the argument. | It is built as removed wine. It does not taste like blanc de blancs, or like much wine at all. |
