Defining vegan wines is easy; they’re wines that are created without the use of any animal products. So, you may be wondering, what exactly goes into wine beyond grapes that would come from an animal?
Most wine producers use animalderived products to act as a filter to remove any organic particles that may be deemed detrimental to its flavour, texture, colour or appearance. These additions can vary from fish swim bladders (isinglass) or animal parts (gelatine), to egg whites (albumen) or milk protein (casein).
