Vegetarian Wines

Vegetarian wine is wine that has been produced without the use of animal-derived products during the winemaking process. Some winemaking techniques involve the use of substances such as gelatine or isinglass (a substance derived from fish bladders) to clarify or stabilise the wine. While these substances are removed from the final product, some vegetarians choose to avoid wines made with them due to their animal origin.

To cater to vegetarian preferences, many winemakers now use alternative methods for clarification and stabilization, such as bentonite clay or filtration. These methods achieve similar results without relying on animal-derived products. Additionally, some winemakers explicitly label their wines as “vegetarian-friendly” to indicate that they do not use any animal products throughout the winemaking process.

Please not that vegetarian wine is not the same as vegan wine. Vegetarian wine making techniques can use some animal products such as albumen, which is derived from egg whites.
