5 Vegan/Vegetarian Wines in Sainsbury's Local and Tesco Express

I used to think that all wine was Vegan. So it rather took me by surprise to learn that the refining process for wine involves the use of fining agents such as casein (a milk protein), albumin (egg whites), gelatin (animal protein) and isinglass (fish bladder protein).

What!!!! are you screaming too!!! 😮

Yes that's right. Wine is not just grapes folks! Although these items are not added to the wine, the fining process means that some allergenic substances may be found in wine. Therefore there are now labels on some wines to indicate those that are safe to consume for people with allergies.

It can be a pain reading all the labels to see if food is safe for you. But if you have allergies you have little choice. Imagine all the strange looks when seen turning every single wine bottle around just to look for the safe symbol.

So figuring I am not alone in this and to save myself future 'weird' looks. I put together a little infographic that will help when in a local supermarket local/express store that I'd like share with you.

Now for a nice glass of Vegan wine 
Enjoy folks!!!
