Is Wine Vegan?

Because wine is made from fermented grapes, many people make the mistake of assuming it must automatically fit neatly within a cruelty-free lifestyle. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

Many wineries and wine manufacturers use animal products during the fermentation and purification processes. In particular, bone char, milk proteins, and intestines often play a role in the flavoring and packaging of such wines.

To check if your favorite wine is vegan, look on the bottle to see if it indicates that the wine is “unfined.” This word is a “green flag,” indicating that– though the wine is safely filtered– it is completely safe for vegan consumption. Additionally, any wine labeled as “kosher” is also a safe bet, as this automatically means that it was prepared without the use of animal products.

Of course, another way to tell is to enjoy your evening glass of wine at Coletta!

As with every item on our expansive menu, we ensure our wines fit safely within the confines of a vegan lifestyle. Every glass and bottle is completely cruelty-free and selected for maximum flavor, color, and consistency.
