Is there any way of being certain when I'm in a bar that a particularly wine is vegan.

Who on earth told you that? German made beers should be ok but wines? The only way to know if a wine is vegan is to ask the winery what clarifying agents they use. Last time I looked their laws were the same as everywhere else and they allow egg and fish products to be used. Rheinheitsgebot (sp?) only applies to beer!

No.
European wines and beers have something called finnings added to them during the process of making them. The finnings don't end up directly in the final product but the are placed in the same container for some time and later removed. These finnings come from several sources but all are animal in origin.
It is best to check with manufactures or lists of vegan wines and find your favorites. Then you can order those when you go out to the bar.

Many wines (and beers, for that rely) are sophisticated utilising casein, egg whites, or gelatin--oftentimes isinglass, a fish gelatin. So those wines does no longer be vegan, and if sophisticated by way of isinglass does no longer be vegetarian. I comprehend that in case you seek for an organic and organic wine, those are much less probable to have been sophisticated utilising non-vegan factors and could be suited to your chum. this may be a time once you ask your chum if there are any particular manufacturers of wine she likes and get a bottle of that.

I haven't yet met a German who fully understands what a vegan is. Give me a beer and a big fat German sausage and I won't be asking what's in them.

highly unlikely.
You can almost garantee that wine in a pub is not veggie / vegan.
Generally wines will use ground-bounds ( they call it "charcoal" ) isinglass or egg ) so the majority are not veggie, let alone vegan

Haven't you got anything more interesting to think about when socialising? There is way more to life than worrying about whether anything you consume has ever come into contact with an animal or anything derived from an animal.
