"During the winemaking process the wine is filtered with fining agents. These are recognized as traditional methods for wine fining and clarifying. Many of these fining agents are derived from animals, some include: Milk, Fish, Eggs, Gelatin (Beef and/or Pork). Generally, none of these products remain in the wine because they are removed by filtration prior to bottling."

"Treatment of wines with milk or egg products is a common wine industry practice and is done by winemakers as needed to provide the appropriate treatment and clarity to the wine. These milk or egg products are removed during the filtering of the wines after treatment. In addition, we go one step further to verify that milk or egg products are not detectable after filtration by testing each lot of wine that is treated.We hope that with this information you can make an informed decision that meets your dietary needs."

"I called RumHaven (877-692-5875) about their Caribbean Rum with Coconut Liqueur. They hadn't responded to the message I sent via their contact form a week and a half ago. Crystal informed me that the product is free of any animal products, and this is stated in the nutrition facts (which aren't on the bottle). The product is bottled in the Caribbean."

I received this response about Andre (they're owned by G&J Gallo, so I guess we can assume all their different wines are nonvegan). I had to do a bunch of searching to find out Andre was owned by them, so I don't know if you want to add them all to Barnivore to be safe.
Here are some other labels they own (it's a long list)

Our winemakers tell us both animal and
fish products (e.g., commercial, food-grade gelatin) have been used in winemaking for centuries and are recognized as traditional methods for wine fining, or clarifying. 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.
Phone call from Dana: January 2010
"Called the 800 number and got the sad answer that their wines aren't vegan because they use animal by-products in the wine to add or accentuate flavors and then filter them out before bottling."
