We list over 300 wines on our site of which the majority is suitable to vegetarians (approx. 98%) and vegans (approx. 82%)
This may sound obvious as no animal products are used as ingredients in wine. However, many wine producers use animal derived agents during the clarifying or fining process. These agents include gelatine (from pig or cow bones), isinglass (fish swim bladders), egg white and milk protein. They are used to remove proteins, yeasts and other items in suspension from the wine and are not actually present in the wine you drink, as they are racked off with the products they've removed before bottling.
Some wines are not fined at all, relying instead either on filtration or natural (gravitational) settling over time. Or are fined using bentonite (an inert clay).
Unlike most other wine suppliers, we obtain information regarding fining agents and pass this on to our customers. We actively encourage our suppliers to avoid the use of animal products except where they feel this will significantly compromise the quality of the wine.
Most of our wines are registered with the Vegetarian Society and we offer a 5% discount for members of the Vegan Society (terms and conditions apply).
