Vegan wine. “But surely all wine is vegan?” we hear you cry. Well actually no. Many of the fining agents traditionally used in winemaking (these prevent wine from looking cloudy) contain animal products, such as egg whites or milk protein. However, the more naturally way in which the wine has been processed, the less need for these fining agents so by default organic and biodynamic wines are more likely to be vegan friendly. However not all vegan wines will automatically be organic. The term Unfiltered is sometimes used on bottles of wine made without the use of fining agents, so look out for this if you’re on the hunt for a vegan-friendly bottle.
