Plant-Based Wines to Enjoy on National Wine Day
Did you know that some wine contains animal products? What!? Gross, right?? Why do we need animal products to enjoy fermented (delicious) grape juice?!
During the process of fining, some wineries use the following ingredients for clarification, to filter out sediment and reduce tannins:
Isinglass from fish bladders
Gelatin from boiled cow or pig body parts
Albumin (egg whites)
Casein from milk protein
Fortunately there are many other ways to make wine without the use of animal products, and these are our favorites!

I personally keep their Whispering Angel rose stocked as a summer (and winter and spring and fall) must have.
