As far as vegan labelling goes, most wine brands are not making things easy for us. If you want to make life simpler, check out Good Earth, an independent supplier of high-quality vegan, organic, biodynamic and natural wines and food produce. Choosing to only work with companies that are not just ecofriendly but eco-responsible and have biodynamic and sustainable farming methods, the protection of the planet is at the heart of their core values. All their vegan wines are registered with the Vegan Society Trademark, and have the logo clearly displayed.
If you suffer with headaches, hives or IBS, which makes drinking wine a challenge, then take a look at the Settimo Podere Range, from La Cantina Pizzolato, which has No Added Sulphites (NAS). The online store also stocks a range of other vegan-friendly goodies, from pasta to blended spices. Wines start from £8.99, check them out at www.goodearthshop.co.uk.
