Vegan Vino

It's the weekend, and for me that typically involves a delicious and relaxing glass of wine. I love sitting on the porch, listening to our plants rustle in the evening breeze, watching the sunset over the mountains, and sipping a glass of grigio.

So, of course, embarking upon this vegan journey has led me to find out that lots and lots and lots of wines (and beers as well) are not vegan. Much like the sugar from a previous post, the products, in their final state, do not necessarily contain animal products, but animal products were used in their production. Some wines are filtered through things like fish bladders. You can check with companies to find out how they filter their wines (there are many mechanical alternatives to animal tissues).

Also, check out these great sites:
Barnivore- this includes both beer and wine
and
Vegan Wine Guide- which is a more extensive wine guide.



And for all you budget wine drinkers, I've tried to research Two Buck Chuck. Apparently, the reds are vegan friendly.

So, sit back and sip.
Salut!
