What Is Vegan Wine?

Wine may be made from grapes but not all wine is vegan. That’s because many traditional winemaking methods use animal-derived fining agents during the clarification stage. This process removes tiny particles like yeast, proteins, and sediment to give wine a polished look. Common animal-based agents include egg whites (albumen), casein (milk protein), gelatin, and isinglass (from fish bladders). These are filtered out before bottling, but their use still makes the wine unsuitable for vegans.

Vegan wine, on the other hand, is made without any animal products at any stage. Instead, winemakers use plant-based or mineral alternatives like bentonite clay, pea protein, or activated charcoal or skip fining entirely to keep the wine as natural as possible.

As vegan living becomes more mainstream, more wineries are labeling their bottles vegan-friendly but many still don’t, which can make shopping tricky. That’s where Juicefly Spirits comes in. We’ve handpicked a wide selection of certified vegan wines so you can sip confidently, knowing your wine aligns with your values.

What Is the Difference Between Vegan Wine and Traditionally Made Wine?

The difference comes down to how the wine is clarified. Traditionally made wines often use animal-derived fining agents, like egg whites, casein (milk protein), gelatin, or isinglass, to remove sediment and improve clarity. While these substances don’t remain in the final product, their use makes the wine unsuitable for vegans.

Vegan wines skip animal-based ingredients entirely. Instead, they use cruelty-free fining agents such as bentonite clay, activated charcoal, or pea protein, or they forgo fining altogether. This allows the wine to remain 100% plant-based while still delivering a clean, refined taste and texture.

It’s also worth noting that vegan doesn’t always mean organic. Vegan wines may come from conventionally farmed grapes, while some organic wines still use animal products during production.

How to Tell If Wine Is Vegan?

Since wine labels aren’t required to list fining agents, spotting vegan wine can be tricky. Here’s what to look for:

Look for “Unfined” or “Unfiltered” wines. These are more likely to be vegan, as they skip the clarification process that often uses animal-based agents.
Check for vegan-friendly alternatives like bentonite clay, pea protein, or activated charcoal listed on the label.
Seek out certified vegan logos from organizations like The Vegan Society or BeVeg, which confirm the wine meets strict plant-based standards.

If the label isn’t clear, visit the producer’s website or social media, where wineries often disclose their vegan status. But to skip the guesswork, shop Juicefly Spirits’s Vegan Wine collection, we’ve already done the research and only feature 100% verified vegan wines.

FAQs

What type of wine is vegan?

Vegan wine is made without the use of any animal-derived ingredients or processing agents. Instead of traditional fining agents like egg whites or gelatin, vegan wines use alternatives such as bentonite clay, activated charcoal, or pea protein, or skip fining altogether.

Why is wine usually not vegan?

Wine isn’t always vegan because many winemakers use animal-based fining agents, like casein (milk protein), egg whites, gelatin, or isinglass (from fish bladders), to clarify the wine. These substances are filtered out but still make the wine unsuitable for vegans.

What wine do vegans drink?

Vegans choose wines that are explicitly labeled “vegan” or “vegan-friendly,” meaning no animal products were used in the production process. These wines use plant-based or mineral fining agents or none at all and are often certified by trusted vegan organizations.

Is vegan wine healthier?

While vegan wine isn’t necessarily healthier in terms of nutrition, it’s often considered a cleaner option due to the absence of animal-derived additives. For those with dietary restrictions or ethical preferences, it offers a more transparent and mindful choice.

What makes a wine not vegan?

A wine is not vegan if it’s processed with animal-based fining agents like egg whites, casein, gelatin, or isinglass, even if those ingredients are removed before bottling. The use of these substances disqualifies the wine from being considered vegan.

Which popular wines are vegan?

Many popular brands now offer vegan-friendly wines, including select bottles from Juan Gil, Bonterra, Avaline, and Frey Vineyards. Juicefly Spirits features a curated list of certified vegan wines, making it easy to shop top-rated options with confidence.
