Guest guest Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 i know that most wines are filtered using eggs (a vast majority, sadly), but i've also heard that many of the " finer " upscale wines are filtered using bovine blood. i read that the EU had banned this process because of Mad Cow disease, but i've also heard recently that not all vineyards comply especially if they are shipping internationally (see here: http://www.alsopreview.com/wine/mfbloody.html ). anyone know anything more about this? ===== check me out @ http://www.amyleblanc.com Send Flowers for Valentine's Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
