WHAT DOES VEGAN WINE MEAN?

Vegan wine is The Wine with a capital "W" and just like all "other wines," it is a grape-based product, therefore plant-based by definition.

😨 However (not everyone knows that ...) during the vinification of conventional wines, ingredients of animal origin such as casein, albumin, isinglass, bone glue, gelatine, ox blood,  just to name some of the most common fining agents permitted by law, can be used in wine production.

😍 Unlike conventional wines, vegan wine does NOT use animal ingredients, either in the vineyard or in the winery, replacing them with natural clay algae  and vegetable proteins from potatoes and peas, thus guaranteeing a higher quality, humane, and sustainable final product. Isn't that fantastic?

Why choose a vegan wine?

❤️ Choosing a vegan wine is a gesture of love towards ourselves, towards the people we love, towards animals and towards our planet .

🐷 Opting for a product " without animals inside " is the simplest, most immediate, direct, effective way to make our consumption more responsible, ethical and sustainable .

🥂 And above all, it means being able to toast to life while respecting the lives of our fellow humans and animal friends. What could be more beautiful?

How to distinguish a vegan wine?

✔️ A vegan wine is distinguished by the "V" it proudly bears on its label (front or back).

🙁 Unlike organic wine production, there is still no ministerial regulation, in other words, a law that dictates precise rules to the producer to protect the final consumer.

Vegan wine producers can opt for self-certification (guaranteeing under their own responsibility that they do not use animal ingredients or derivatives) or request certification from third- parties such as VeganOK, Icea, Bioagricert, Qualità vegana, CCPB, and the Vegan Society, to name just a few of the most well-known national and European organizations. So, what's the difference between self-certification and certification? To cut the story short, certification distinguishes serious and committed wineries from all the others.

🍾 Companies that opt for " do-it-yourself " often overlook essential aspects, focusing solely on the wine and forgetting that the bottle and packaging must also ensure full consistency with the same values. From the inks used to print the label, to the glue used to attach it to the bottle, from the capsule protecting the cork, to the box that will deliver the wine to the end customer, it is essential that no animal ingredients or derivatives are used, and this is by no means a given. This is why the vegan certification is so important!
