No. Perhaps you are referring to "Bull's Blood" (a.k.a. Egri Bikaver), which is a very good Hungarian table wine, but all it is made from is grapes. They call it that simply because of it's deep red color, nothing more. However, one of the ingredients used in a lot of wines is gelatin which is made from animal cartilage, and some of the more kooky moralistic vegetarians refuse to drink any wine which uses that.

No.
I think you have probably heard a rumour that was based on an old winemaking practise in some countries to do with fining wine.
Fining is where the winemaker clears the minute detritus left over from winemaking in order to make the wine clear and bright. There is an electrostatic reaction between positively & negatively charged electrons that attarcts the tiny bits of material (bits of grape skins etc) to the fining agent that is added.
In traditional wineries they use beaten egg-whites, others use issingglas (a metrerial made from swim bladders of certain fishes), bentonite (a type of clay powder) is commonly used. But a long time ago in certain European wineries they used dried powdered animal blood - which is probably where your question comes from). This has not been legal for many years and none of the fining agents remained in the wine anyway.

That's insane. I've never heard of that. Wine comes from grapes. Unless some of the people in the "Old Country" that still make the wine from stomping it has a blister or cuts their toe, I think the answer is no. Man that's gross.
However, deer blood is rumored to be one of the ingredients in Jagermeister, though I doubt it's still true, if it ever was.

There's no blood in red wine. Some Christians believe that the wine of Communion is literally the blood of Christ however.

the only ingredient in wine is grapes. although some may add sulfites and yeast depending on the type of wine being made.

Wine is made from grapes, also where the coloring comes from. So no to your question

No..unless someone was being very cruel and tasteless, you'll find your wine contains only the fruit of the grape..
ENJOY!
