Answer 2

In January 1997, we published an article about the manufacturing processes involved in wine making and the animal products that are used in the production. "Why is Wine So Fined?", by Caroline Pyevich, has become one of the most requested articles that was not already on the VRG website. We decided to put it online. You can read the whole article at www.vrg.org/journal/vj97jan/971wine.htm

Here is an excerpt: "Some clarifiers are animal-based products, while others are earth-based. Common animal-based agents include egg whites, milk, casein, gelatin, and isinglass. Gelatin is an animal protein derived from the skin and connective tissue of pigs and cows. Isinglass is prepared from the bladder of the sturgeon fish. Bentonite, a clay earth product, serves as a popular fining agent."

We know a few organic wine companies that produce vegan wines. Note: some organic wine companies do use egg whites as clarifiers. You can contact Hallcrest Vineyards at [phone] and Frey Vineyards at [phone]. Hallcrest offers mail order, and Frey is distributed across the US, and will let you know where their wine can be purchased locally. Offerings From The Vine produces wine that is made with fresh fruits and maple syrup, without sulfites, preservatives, or additives. For information contact Yafah B. Asiel at SVS [phone].

Answer 3

Anything made from fruits, veggies, bean, milk, dairy, eggs, grains, yogurt, or soy, is vegetarian. Some vegetarians include fish and seafood in their diet, but many do not. The ONLY things that are not vegetarian are foods made from animals -- no hamburger, lamb, steak, pork, chicken, etc.

So although no one will say 'I drank vegetarian wine'... it is made from distilled grapes. so you're safe.
