In this episode we take a detailed look at wine. We talk to Will, from Selected Grapes, a wine retailer and connoisseur about the reasons why some wines are not vegan, he also gives us a few insights into how to find out if a wine we’ve not experienced before is vegan.

He explains that one of the primary reasons that wines are not vegan is due to the fining and clarifying process. It is then down to the finings agent used, which can often be egg whites or isinglass finings, made from the dried swim bladder of fish… Clearly neither eggs nor fish are vegan! 

And whilst the principle is that the fining agent bonds to the sediment and is then removed from the wine (so there is no animal ingredients in the wine by the time you drink it), because there have been animal products used during the manufacturing process these wines are not vegan.
