Vegan Wines: To clarify wines, many winemakers use “fining agents” to remove particles, yeast, or proteins, some of which are derived from egg whites, milk proteins (casein), fish oil, fish bladders, chitin from crustacean shells, and gelatin. Vegan-friendly agents do exist, such as bentonite clay, carbon, and plant casein. Wines marked with a V have been deemed vegan-friendly according to Barnivore.com. Be aware that winemaking techniques are always changing - Please consult with barnivore.com or a wine producer directly for the most up-to-date info.
