Is Wine vegan?

It depends

Why

Fining agents can include egg, milk, fish, or gelatin; not always on the label.

What to check on the pack

Look for unfined, vegan-certified, or producer notes on fining.

Regional differences

EU labels rarely list fining aids; Barnivore and producer sites help for specific bottles.

Typical animal parts that can appear

Text and symbols carry the meaning. Color alone does not.
