***Editor's note: All the De Bortoli wines have been changed to not vegan-friendly, in light of Clare's note below. Please be aware that this can change by vintage as indicated in their earlier email. It appears they will indicate on the label if animal products were used.***

Note from Clare (October 2012): [in regard to De Bortoli Emeri Pink]
"After getting home and pouring myself a glass I noticed it says right on the label "produced with egg products as a processing aid and traces may remain"."

The usual additives are milk in white wines and egg whites in red wines, these wines listed only declare sulfates so they should be fine. Of course this changes with every vintage, so you may have to check the products by vintage also.
In regards to our manufacturing, our facilities are located in Australia only, as such our processing systems remain consistent with the descriptions provided above."
