Tag: White wine gluten

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), products labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, a standard that most traditional white wines naturally meet. While the base ingredients—grapes—are inherently gluten-free, trace amounts can potentially enter during production.

While wine is naturally gluten-free, made from grapes and yeast, some individuals worry about contamination during the winemaking process. We explore the question, does red white have gluten, and uncover the factors that can affect its gluten-free status, from fining agents to aging barrels.
