Apparently some wines contain blood! The fining process uses gelatine, egg, or bits from crab/lobster shells, or OX BLOOD!!! (Rarely used today). I didn't know this till now, but it's put me off! no more wine for me I'll have to stick to the spirits from now on...Where did I put the vodka

Some wines use Rennet (derived from calf bones or stomach linings) in the clearing process.

there's snake wine, meat & beef wine.
Here's a definition:
Meat wine or beef wine
192. Meat wine or beef wine, or any wine which purports to contain any extract of meat or beef shall be
wine conforming to the general standard for wine, to which has been added meat extract or beef extract,
so that the resultant wine contains not less than 2% protein.

It is the filtering process but I think lot use gelatine or some sort derivative. veggies can eat eggs, thats vegans youre thinking of Beebs!

yes because as well as the above answer, processed white sugar can be used, and charred bone is used in that process.
