                                While the primary ingredients in champagne—grapes, yeast, and sugar—are naturally vegan, the clarification process has historically used animal-derived products. Traditionally, winemakers used substances like egg whites, also known as albumen, to help remove impurities and achieve the crystal-clear appearance consumers expect. However, this practice is not used by all producers, and many modern brands are now completely vegan-friendly.
