It was just a few weeks ago that I got accosted at the farmers market by a few folks who couldn't believe that we would even consider making a wine that wasn't vegan. It was very disheartening since we are trying very hard to move as many of our products towards sustainable and organic farming practices as possible. We've even got to the point where all but one of the wines we completely make ourselves are from organic grapes. So, your note was quite refreshing. I am in the process of going back and looking through all our winemaking notes. I'm not sure how familiar you are with our wines, but we have four labels: Stumbling Block, Shy Chenin, Reversal, and Basket Case. The Basket Case brand is a combination of wine that we produce ourselves as well as wine we have contract made for us by other wineries. Though we are pretty involved in that wine making as well, I'm not comfortable telling you that they are Vegan-chances are they are not. <b> As for the other three labels-Shy Chenin, Stumbling Block, and Reversal, we make all those wines and I am 90% sure they are Vegan. I am only hesitating until I get all of the records for all of the lots in front of me at one time. As a general rule, we try very hard not to add animal products, not because we are necessarily against it (although there is so much interest we are planning on making our wines 'Vegan' just because we can) but because our style of winemaking is to be as minimal as possible. To my knowledge we have not done any fining with animal products, but let me get back to you on that. </b> Just out of curiosity, what do you as a vegan think of PVPP? It's basically a plastic that is used sort of like a fining agent. I would think it would be considered Vegan, but I'm not that big a fan of sticking micro-petroleum particles into my wine. Funny, huh? Technically it would be Vegan, but certainly not organic!" 97135 Yellow United States OR Probably Vegan Friendly Basket-Case-Wine 2009-12-09T15:35:13+00:00 http://www.basketcasewine.com/

After checking with our winemaking team, I have learned that on a very limited number of our red wines we might add casein (from milk) and albumen (egg whites). Both of these are proteins and are used as fining agents to remove tannins and reduce astringency. These are removed as precipitates and it is doubtful any traces of these proteins remain after the fining operation. It depends from year to year which red wines may be put through this process, so I can't tell you specifically which wines might be affected. On the other hand, our white and blush wines, such as Chardonnay and White Zinfandel are not fined at all. They may go through a filtering agent such as cellulose pads or diatomaceous earth. In membrane filtration the wine is passed through a thin film of plastic polymer material having uniformly sized holes. In both cases nothing is added to the wine. Ah, sounds semi-good, but then we get company email 2: Thank you for contacting Beringer. We do not recommend any of our wine for vegans due to the possibility that the wine has been clarified with fining agents such as egg albumin, casein, gelatin and isinglass. The winemakers decide on which fining agents are used and these may vary from product to product and even batch to batch (usually depending on the grapes of that particular year).

You should take them off your wine list and even consider running a blurb - Native Foods, Herbivore, and a ton of other vegan restaurants sell or have sold them, and tons of vegans I know like to drink it. Their white wines are vegan, but their red wines are NOT. I just got off the phone with James Caudill, one of their reps, and he confirmed it." Seconded by Mo - company email: "We use egg whites in the fining process of our red wines. However, our white wines are free of any animal products and are vegetarian and vegan friendly. Ages ago, it was discovered that egg whites added to wine would aid in removing unwanted tannins. This 'tannin fining' process is used to improve the flavor of red wines by limiting the astringency caused by the tannins. The egg whites settle to the bottom and are then filtered out. All residue of the egg whites is removed from the wine." (800) 846-8637 95449 Yellow United States CA White Wines are Vegan Friendly, Reds are not Bonterra-Vinyards 2009-12-09T14:21:32+00:00

None of our wines (especially the Rieslings) have any animal products in them. The whites are fined with Bentonite (a volcanic clay like material) and filtered through Diatomaceous Earth. In the past, we have used gelatin to fine our reds but we haven't done that for years and never to a Gamay or a Pinot. I did try egg white fining experiments in the lab but they failed miserably, so I won't be doing that. I guess the short answer to your question would be- No, we do not use animal products in our wines. Drink and enjoy them!

The fining agents used can vary between each product and from vintage to vintage and their purpose is to soften and stabilise the wine. The wine is then filtered to remove the finings but there many be slight traces left, which is why the fining agent will be listed in the wine's ingredients. Because of this process, we cannot guarantee that our wines are suitable for Vegan / Vegetarians as finings maybe left in slight traces" Follow up email from Barnivore: "Emmi wrote to me that she has asked about Hardys... but your emails refer to "our wines".

Indeed, gelatine appears to be one of the clarifiers with greater agglutinating capabilities, and more selective power in the fining of wine. In addition to that, gelatine is used in very low doses (average dose is 1 gr. per 100 liters of must). We are talking about one gram of a transformed, purified, and sanitarily harmless product. On top of that, gelatine is eliminated from the wine by filtration, after agglutinating with the existing colloidal materials in the wine. Another advantage of gelatine is that it offers high productivity during the filtration due to its agglutinating power. Otherwise, a couple of things could happen: • wine filtration cycles would be considerably shorter, increasing at the same time the filtration costs. • it considerably would increase the volume of filtering earth needed with the inevitable environmental damages that this represents. For the production of our Cava, we use both our own base wines and wines selected from other wineries. Some of these wineries have implemented modern methods to separate the lees (Mosto fining) based on modern flotation systems. One of the advantages of these systems is the elimination of filtering earths and, therefore, reducing the environmental impact. One of the key elements in this system is the use of the gelatine. <B>It is for these reasons that we sincerely believe that using small amounts of gelatine in the transformation process of wine, should not have any effect on consumption by vegetarians. In conclusion, if we were not allowed to use gelatine, we would have to carry out a rigorous study on the consequences over our products and facilities. This would involve an important work of advising and control over our suppliers, which some of whom have adapted their systems to the separation of lees process described previously.</B> UPDATE Company Email: "Our wines are not suitable for vegans since we use a clarifying agent that has egg whites.

There are a few selected wines that we fine with refined protein made from animal based products. The fining agents are mixed with the wine to remove specific compounds. None of these fining agents are soluble and are removed by a diatomaceous earth filtration. The final product is then filtered through a 0.22 micron membrane that removes all particles, bacteria or microorganisms. Because wine is a natural based product whose characteristics vary from vintage to vintage, we treat each wine and each vintage differently. The fining agents that we use may be used in some wines for some vintages and then not used for the same wine the following year. Due to the possibility of blending of very small amounts from vintage to vintage (5% or less is allowable by law), we cannot assure with 100% certainty that any wine has been produced without using any animal based products. 408-288-5057 95126 Red United States CA NOT Vegan Friendly J-Lohr-Winery 2009-12-09T19:41:45+00:00 http://www.jlohr.com/

In white wines we do use skim milk and on occasion egg. We also use gelatine as a fining agent in white wines. The use of gelatine is less frequent and I cannot provide absolute details of which wines are fined with this. I can confirm with you that as is common place in the industry most of our red wines in most vintages have received a light fining of egg white to remove excess aggressive tannins and astringency. Occasionally we also use skim milk powder as a fining agent. Isinglass and gelatine are not used by us as red wine fining agents. I can also confirm that no animals are used in creation and no animals are tested upon during the creation of any of our wines. The nut flavours on the palate is a characteristic of the fermentation and the barrel maturation, and not directly related to any particular nut. We do not add any nuts to our wine making process.

Wine Megan Healdsburg Jordan Winery USA 2009-04-06T17:54:00+00:00 info@jordanwinery.com 541 Company email: Thank-you for emailing your question regarding the use of fining agents on our wine. I don't know if you are referring to our Chardonnay or our Cabernet so I will attempt to answer both. Chardonnay: we use a combination of bentonite (earth based ) which is a montmorillonite clay that is used to drop out any protein that may cause a haze in our white wine. For the juice, prior to fermentation, a combination of both bentonite and casein (a milk derived protein) is used which softens the astringent nature of our wine by minimizing the effect of the skins from the grape pressing. The sediment (lees) from the deposition of the fining agent and the proteins, phenolics from the juice are racked (drawn) off and sent out for disposal (actually another winery uses the settlings). Of course our Chardonnay is filtered prior to bottling. Cabernet: the only fining agents we use are protein/animal based: gelatin and egg white. The gelatin is used in very small quantities and helps remove amorphous material as well as microbial (yeasts and malolactic bacteria) that cloud the wine. Fresh egg whites (not the yolk) is added as a way of balancing out the oak tannins and the fruit derived tannins. It is a very common procedure used throughout the world; but some winemakers elect not to use egg whites as they fear it will remove flavor components. We use egg whites because we feel the flavor components are enhanced. I don't know if it is possible for residual egg whites to be present in our wine. We filter our wine prior to bottling and after fining (0.65 microns absolute- which means nothing passes through the filter larger than 0.65 microns. This is to eliminate any residual yeast and most malolactic bacteria) so I would imagine that the bound egg white with the tannin complex is removed. 800-654-1213 95448-9003 Red United States CA Not vegan friendly Jordan-Winery 2009-12-09T19:33:15+00:00 http://jordanwinery.com/

In our experience, the organic winemaking methodology makes a wine that is unstable, and its quality is often suspect. Quality is the highest priority at Lolonis.

Generally no gelatin remains in the wine because it reacts with the wine components, as it clarifies, and forms a sediment which is removed by filtration prior to bottling.

Well, we had to add some sugar in 2007. Background on animals and wine: basically, animal products are added because the winemaker is trying to use protein to make other chemicals such as tannins fall out of solution. This is almost exclusive to red wines. When we fine white wines, we are trying to remove protein, so we are adding things such as bentonite clay. The hotter the climate the grapes are grown, the more pressure there is to use fining agents on red wine. Hot climates increase the skin to weight ratio at harvest, meaning the grapes have more tannin in them. We don't fine our red wines: meaning no ox blood, isinglass, milk protein, egg whites, etc. We have found that patience and time in the barrel address the needs. We sometimes add Stabavin to our white wines, which is Gum Arabic. I don't think that is prohibitive to vegan diets, but thought I'd disclose it since you're more qualified to judge."

Wine AngelA Healdsburg Rodney Strong Vineyards USA 2009-08-20T07:00:00+00:00 collectorscircle@rodneystrong.com 769 Company Email: "The use of fining agents in winemaking to make wine taste/smell/look better is an ages old practice. Fining can eliminate bitterness, astringency, brown color, cloudiness, and other things best left out of wine. After the fining agent is added to wine, it clings physically or electrostatically to whatever protein or other targeted substance in the wine, and gravity generally brings it to the bottom of the storage vessel. The wine can then be drawn off the sediment, and may or may not be subjected to filtration. Some fining agents are "earth" based, and some are "animal" based. While theoretically no fining agent will end up in the final wine, strict adherents to some versions of vegetarianism would prefer not to make use of any product if animal derived substances were used during processing. Fining is never done formulaically. Rather, if a wine might be subject to some improvement in, let's say astringency, then a representative sample of the wine is trialed under laboratory conditions with a variety of fining agents in varying amounts that are known to reduce astringency. The four best fining agents to reduce astringency are all animal based: egg whites, gelatin, isinglass (from fish), and casein (from milk). Other commonly used fining agents include bentonite (a clay), Sparkolloid (from algae), and activated carbon. Keep in mind that fining is an optional tool, and if a wine is delicious as it is, it may not require fining at all. So what's a vegan to do? Generally, red wines are more likely (but not necessarily) to have been fined for astringency with an animal based product than white wines. Some red wines are bottled as "unfined" and these are really the only prudent choice for a strict vegan. White wines, too, are sometimes fined with casein or isinglass, so it is always recommended that vegans contact a winery directly to learn what wines are best suited to them. Of the current releases of Rodney Strong Vineyards wines, vegans should be comfortable enjoying our 2007 Charlotte's Home Sauvignon Blanc, and our 2007 Sonoma County Chardonnay, both of which were finished only with "earth" based fining." 866-779-4637 95448 Yellow United States CA Some Vegan Friendly Options Rodney-Strong-Vineyards 2009-12-09T15:33:05+00:00 http://www.rodneystrong.com

Our premium free run reds are bottled unfined, unfiltered, making all of our top reds Vegan Friendly. However the press red, in our case (Tumbleweed Red) is fined with egg white to strip tannins.That is our only fined red. Other fining agents strip the colour from red. - White wines I usually just use bentonite, but again our premiums are generally free run, or very lightly pressed to avoid astringency, and the bentonite is sufficient to achieve protein stability when properly used. The press white has more astringency from seeds, skins, and stems, and may require gelatin which is a very strong fining agent. Improperly used it can easily strip a wine bare, and is rarely used in my cellar. The single wine of ours that I have used gelatin on is the, as of yet unreleased, Tumbleweed White NV (accumlated years of press fractions). On our 2006 Luminescence Chardonnay, we used some Isinglass in fining as a bit of an experiment, but I found that I much prefer to use bentonite for the compact lees and faster settling. Our 2007 Luminescence is the only Certified Organic Chardonnay in BC at the moment, definitely Vegan Friendly! The 2008 will also be... That would make all of the other Chardonnay vintages Vegan Friendly, as well as our Riewurztrafeleron*, previously Riewurztrafelser Blanc. *Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Ehrenfelser, Auxerrois, Chardonnay, Semillon! 100% of the whites from Stoney Slopes Vineyard in OK Falls in one tank!

You are correct in saying that many wineries use fining products in their wines but I think that it is much less than in the past. I remember when I first started winemaking in the early 90’s I used several of these products. But now because of educational advances in grape growing and winemaking many of these products are unnecessary. For example, in red wines these products were used to mellow out harsh tannins after the fermentation. Because the vineyard canopies have been opened up to allow more sunlight onto the fruit these tannins are not as hard. Also in the winery there is more attention to pump-over management and temperature of fermentation which reduces the extraction of these harsh tannins. So, to answer your question here at St Francis we do not use any animal based products in our wines." 707-833-2148 95409-6529 Green United States CA Vegan Friendly St-Francis-Winery 2010-01-06T10:34:00+00:00 http://www.stfranciswinery.com/

The short answer - no we don't use animal products in making our wine. The gentle way we grow, pick, and ferment our grapes leads to naturally balanced tannin levels, so we don't need to add animal proteins to achieve correct tannin levels. Now for the long answer: It's true that animal proteins are frequently used in winemaking. Their function is usually to control the levels of tannins in the wine. Tannins are complex molecules that react with proteins. They are naturally produced by many types of plants as a natural defensive compound against pests and stressful conditions. In wine, overripe or stressed grapes can produce large quantities of tannins while still on the vine, and these tannin levels can be exacerbated by rough handling of the grapes during fermentation in the winery. When tannins react with the proteins in your mouth, they produce a drying, gritty sensation. In subtle quantities, tannins create a velvety texture to the wine; in greater quantities the sensation is decidedly unpleasant. That's why some winemakers regularly fine their wines to remove excess tannins. The tannins react with the proteins in the fining agent and precipitate them to the bottom of the barrel, making the wines taste softer and more palatable. However, at The Eyrie Vineyards we moderate tannins naturally. We carefully manage the amount of sunlight that falls on the fruit, keeping stress to a minimum while boosting ripeness. Our organic spray program keeps the grapes free of mildews and molds that lead the plants to create defensive tannins. Our deep rooted vines tap into perennial sources of water. As a result, drought stress is minimized and so are tannins. The grapes are picked by hand, destemmed whole berry, pressed in old fashioned platen style presses, and aged in neutral oak barrels. These gentle winemaking techniques preserve the fruit flavors and give us naturally balanced wines that require little intervention on the part of the winemaker. 888.440.4970 97115 Green United States OR Vegan Friendly The-Eyrie-Vineyards-BlackCap 2009-12-09T15:39:40+00:00 http://www.eyrievineyards.com/

Generally no gelatin remains in the wine because it reacts with the wine components, as it clarifies, and forms a sediment which is removed by filtration prior to bottling. Exceptions to this are a few of our premium wines that undergo minimal or no filtration prior to bottling and therefore may not be completely free of animal products.

Wine Kirsty Nuriootpa Wolf Blass Australia 2008-07-03T04:07:00+00:00 cellardoor@wolfblass.com.au 402 Company email: Many of our wines are fined using milk products (casein), egg products (albumen) and fish products (isinglass). Fining is the process undertaken to remove proteins and phenolics in the wine, which cloud the wine and may give it an undesirable bitterness. At the end of the process the wine is filtered or centrifuged and the fining agent removed from the wine however traces may remain. The following wines (vintage specific) have been produced without the aid or addition of animal derived products and may be enjoyed by Vegans or Vegetarians: Red Label Frontignac Traminer 2004 Grey Label Shiraz 2005 Gold Label Shiraz 2004 / 2005 / 2006 Gold Label Pinot Noir 2005 Gold Label Pinot Noir Chardonnay Sparkling 2004 Gold Label Chardonnay 2005 / 2007 Gold Label Shiraz Viognier 2005 Gold Label Riesling 2005 / 2006 Gold Label Pinot Gris 2004 Gold Label Sauvignon Blanc 2005 / 2006 Black label Shiraz 2004 Should you have any further enquiry, please do not hesitate to contact our Consumer Relations team on 1300 651 650 (Australia).
