Does this mean his wine is vegan? No fishy stuff used to clarify the wine?

Just curious if anyone knows, as this is rather a bold statement to say it

*only* contains grapes, and one would automatically assume vegan then. I'm not

attending nor do I drink so I don't really have a personal interest... I'm just

interested in how Millennium's chose to promote this.

 

 

Cheers,

Check out this site, it talks about fining agents used

in wine making and how to identify wines that have

been produced without the use of animal or fish

derivatives.

 

I'm not attending the wine event at Millenium but when

I make my reservations for the Easter Brunch I'll be

sure to ask about the wine. I'll let you all know

what I find out.

There is no guarantee that wine is vegan unless you ask the winemaker what

is used in making it. The isenglass (tropical fish guts), egg whites, or

other animal products used to " fine " (clarify) wine is removed before

bottling, but, in my opinion, it's still not vegan unless it's fined with

clay or other non-animal substances. In other words, buyer beware!

According to the receptionist at Millenium, the wine

featured is vegan. " Coturri Vineyards does not use

animal products in making their wines. For more

information, they can be contacted at 1-866-COTURRI. "
