World Vegan<br />
Month: November<br />
With 5-7% of the UK population following a<br />
vegetarian diet and 2-3% a vegan one, the wine<br />
world is fast adapting to ensure that all dietary<br />
requirements are catered for. Amongst cries of<br />
‘surely all wine is vegan?’ the simple answer<br />
is no!<br />
Whilst wine is grape juice that has gone through<br />
fermentation, it is production techniques that can<br />
make some wine unsuitable for vegans. Products<br />
derived from animals can be used as fining and<br />
filtering agents which can include isinglass (fish<br />
derived), albumen (egg whites) casein (milk protein)<br />
and gelatine. To eliminate these from production,<br />
they are being replaced with plant and mineral<br />
derived products such as bentonite, kaolin (clay<br />
mineral) pea gelatine and kieselguhr (sedimentary<br />
rock). Rest assured that the resulting wine tastes<br />
no different so you’re still in for enjoyable imbibing.<br />
With over 50% of our wines being vegan, we have a<br />
plethora to choose from with our pick of the bunch<br />
