Vegan Wine?

This is a topic I love to tell people about as they generally have no idea what it is in their wine. Listen up all of you vegetarians and vegan wine drinkers! The wine you are drinking was made with animal by-products!

A little background for you....

During the wine making process, winemakers have to "fine" the wine to get all of the visible products out. (Such as sediment, yeast, grape skins, etc). Since they don't want to alter the flavor or color of the wine, they use animal by-products. For white wines, salmon stomachs are commonly used, For red wines, egg yolks are used to remove particles. Egg yolks and salmon stomachs have no effect on the taste of the wine, (which is why they are used!). Instead, they only act as a vacuum to get all of the unwanted products out of the wine. The sediment will cling to these by-products, and will then be removed all together from the wine.

Have you changed your mind about drinking wine now? WELL DON'T. If you must.... drink "vegan" friendly wine. The difference is instead of "fining", they do a "filtering" process. Filtering is the same thing as fining, except chemicals, (not animal by-products), are used to remove sediment. However, unlike fining, these filtering techniques can alter the flavor and color of the wine. But, if you want to stick to your guns, ask your local wine shop about their "vegan friendly" wines, and they will be happy to point you in the right direction.
