Tag: Vegan fining

According to a 2023 Wine Intelligence survey, approximately 70% of US wine drinkers would pay more for ethically produced wines, leading to questions like 'is lab wine vegan?' and its role in the future of the industry.

Surprisingly, many wines are not vegan because of the animal-derived products used in a process called 'fining'. So, how does wine become vegan? Winemakers achieve this by replacing traditional animal-based clarifying agents with vegan-friendly alternatives or by simply skipping the fining process altogether.
