Why vegan wine?
Surely all wine is vegan, it’s just made from grapes, right?
While the main component for wine is indeed grapes (which are definitely vegan), some wines use egg whites, gelatin or a protein called casein (derived from fish bladders) in the fining process.
The fining process is an important step in winemaking. It removes particulates from the wine before it’s bottled. Vegan winemakers do this process without animal products and instead use bentonite clay or activated charcoal to cleanse the wine.
You’re left with crystal-clear wine and a clear conscience, knowing your evening glass of vino is animal cruelty-free.
Why organic wine?
We talk a lot about the benefits of going organic. Not only for the planet but also for your health.
Organic wine is produced without any toxic chemicals, full stop. That means no herbicides, no pesticides, no artificial flavourings and no synthetic chemicals. Instead, organic vineyards are a biodiverse haven teeming with life that provides a natural and effective defence against vine pests.
Rumour has it that hangovers aren’t so bad after drinking organic wine. Something to do with being produced without pesticides and avoiding additives like sulphur dioxide, preservatives, dyes and sugar. But don’t quote us on this - and always drink responsibly!
Whether you want to treat yourself to an evening tipple, host a dinner party or enjoy a chilled glass on a summer evening - we’ve got a wine to suit you.
