St Austell Wines - Wine List 2020

Green Wines
To know whether a wine is suitable for vegetarians or vegans, you need to know how the wine is clarified (or fined) to
remove the solid particles that would otherwise make it cloudy. The substances used for this process can be derived
from many sources, some of which come from fish and animal, some from dairy products and some from clay or
synthetic substances. Certain producers do not fine their wines at all while some choose just to filter.
Though bull's blood, a traditional fining agent, was banned by the EU after the BSE crisis, a number of animal-derived
products are still permitted for the production of wine sold in Europe. Among the most prevalent are isinglass (fish
swim bladders), gelatin, casein (milk protein) and albumen (egg whites). If a wine is fined with bentonite (a clay), the
wine is suitable for vegetarians and vegans, if a wine is fined with casein or albumen it is suitable for vegetarians but
not for vegans.
Strictly speaking, such substances are no longer found in the wine at all after clarification, but the fact that they have
had contact with the liquid may be a deciding factor for some people.
