What makes a wine vegan or not?

Some wines, beers, and spirits may be filtered with Isinglass (fish intestine) or egg albumen. Non-vegan filtration products used in alcohols include:

+ Isinglass - fining made from swim bladders of fish
+ Casein or Caseinate - fining made from milk protein
+ Egg Albumen or Animal Albumen - fining made from egg whites and/or dried animal blood
+ Glycerin or Glyceryl Monostearate - anti-foaming agent made from animal fat
+ Charcoal - filtering agent that is sometimes made from animal bones
+ White Sugar - for commercial use, generally whitened using bone charcoal, aka bone char
+ Gelatin - fining agent made from the connective tissues and bones of animals
+ Insects - used for coloring agents
+ Pepsin - foaming agent that sometimes is made from pork
+ Honey - flavoring and sweetener made by bees

Information on the veganocity of these wines was provided by Barnivore.com. Go to their website for the most current information, plus information on beers and spirits as well.

Stewart, who did the app for VeganYumYum.com, gave me advice & pointed me in the right direction when I got stuck. Also, VeganYumYum has tons of great recipes.
