What's Hiding in Your Wine?


I had a breakthrough in my wine investigations recently, and that came with the realization of what is really hiding in our wine glasses: casein, albumen, isinglass and gelatin. All of these icky ingredients are commonly used to fine or clarify wine before it is racked.

Fortunately there is a wonderful site called Barnivore.com which has helped me to discover many wonderful casein-free "vegan" wines that I can enjoy with lessened repercussions.
