[Editor's note (March 2013): Barnivore is in the process of the verifying the true veganness of Cupcake Wines. Stay tuned.]

Company email (October 2012):
"yes our wines are vegan."

Company email, December 2011:
"The fining agents we use in Cupcake wines are all removed by a series of racks, centrifugations and filtrations."

Company email (May 2011):
"Our products do not contain any animal products at bottling. Some commercially produced base wines are treated with milk fining or gelatin in rare instances during processing, however to the best of our knowledge none of these products remain in the wine after processing."

Company email (when asked about specific animal byproducts that could be used): May 2010
"Our products do not contain any animal products at bottling. Some commercially produced base wines are treated with milk fining or gelatin in rare instances during processing, however to the best of our knowledge none of these products remain in the wine after processing."

Note from Amber:
"I thought it was sketchy that they said their wine contained no animal products "at bottling" and then spoke of wines in general, rather than their brand in particular. To me, it suggested that they either do use animal products during filtration or that whoever responded didn't know for sure or doesn't understand what makes a wine vegan or not. I wrote back asking for clarification but no one ever responded."

Company email (June 2010):
[when asked just "are your wines vegan] "Our wines are vegan friendly!"

(Editor's note: we sent them an email to clarify in June 2010 with no response)
