1.2 Why are all wines not suitable for vegans?
Many wines are made using animal-derived ingredients to assist in the processing of the wine. Whilst these ingredients in the main are filtered out of the wine before it is sold, the use of animal ingredients in the creation of the wine makes them unsuitable for consumption by vegans. Typically these ingredients are used as processing aids in the "fining" or filtration part of the winemaking process to help remove solid impurities such as grape skins, stems, pips, to remove the yeast used in the fermentation process or to adjust the tannin levels in certain wines. This is done to end up with a clearer, brighter, better tasting and more presentable wine.
1.3 What animal ingredients are commonly found in wine?
The most common animal ingredients used in wine making are isinglass (a very pure form of gelatine from sturgeon fish bladders), gelatine (extract from boiled cow's or pig's hooves and sinews), egg whites (or albumin) and casein

As a specific recommendation, I am partial to the wines made at Domaine Robert Chevillon. Domaine Chevillon makes wines in Burgundy, France from the Pinot Noir grape. This producer very consistently produces good-to-great wines. The wines are unfined and unfiltered, which should remove any chance of non-vegan contaminants entering the wine. Look for the 1999, 2001, and 2002 vintages particularly.
Any wine that has on its label somewhere "unfined and unfiltered" is generally considered vegan. Be aware that this may lead to some sediment forming in the bottom of the bottle. This is normal, harmless, and easily dealt with using a decanter or careful pouring.
As a more general recommendation, seek out North Berkley Imports and Kermit Lynch wines. Both of these are importers which tend to specialize in small, boutique wineries that bottle wines unfined and unfiltered. Importers usually place their own label below the main, or on the back of the bottle.
my guess is all wine is vegan..since its made from...GRAPES!!!!!
there is no need for being a vegan.. u miss out on so many good foods
I think all wine is vegan. Wine contains grapes, no dairy, no meat. Drink up!
Chateau Le Tofu
all kindsa wine is vegan..
I think your best bet would be to search out a certified organic vineyard. Although I do have experience with wine, I must admit that this is a new topic to me. Not entirely sure what you are looking for in the wine.... production method, harvesting?? I think that most wines available should.... I stress *should* be within the guidelines of vegan living... There are numerous regional wineries throughout the US, you might be fortunate enough to live in California (obviously) Washington State, New England, Central Atlantic, Upstate NY. Remember wine is very subjective as well.. what one person adores might not be so good to someone else. Hope this helps in some way :-)
