Sorry folks! Most wine is *not* vegetarian! or Beer

[Guest guest]

Nope, lots of beer isn't vegetarian either.

Not sure if we have the list in the files, I know that

it's come up a few times in here.

I think this is the one that's been posted before:

 

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/geraint.bevan/Vegetarian_beers.html

 

Also, found this:

 

http://www.gonchong.co.uk/vegbeer.html

 

These lists force us to again lament that Guiness does not

make the cut due to isinglass.

The finings can make it non-vegetarian. For

instance Guinness:

 

From Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinness

" Guinness is not suitable for vegans and vegetarians

due to the use of a fish-based fining agent called

isinglass. "

 

From snopes:

<http://msgboard.snopes.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=108;t=000815;\

p=0>

" Fining is the process of added a substance that

attracts solid matter suspendde in the liquid to form

a clump that will settle at the bottom of the

container. The most common fining agents are bentonite

and isinglass. Bentonite is a type of clay, so it is

vegetarian. Isinglass is made from fish, so that is

where the story originates. Fining agents are removed

by racking and filtering, but trace amounts of the

fining agents are left.

 

Less commong fining agents include carragean.

Historically, other substances have been used besides

bentonite and isinglass, such as egg yolks and ox

blood. These are generally not used any more, due to

heath concerns.

 

Guiness is not a vegetarian beer (big page) because it

uses isinglass. (Note that that page has a major error

on it -- it assumes all finings are animal products,

which is not true.) "
