Guest guest Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 Vegan Beers For the UK, see The UK Vegan Society's information sheet.

Most wines are not vegan, and those that are do not necessarily advertise the fact. The most accurate way to find out if a wine is acceptable to you is to contact the winery and ask specifically what is used in the fining process. If you don't have the time or resources for that (and how many of us do), here is a list of American wines drawn from the (no longer active) VinoVeggie website. Note that the quality of this information totally depends on the accuracy of VinoVeggie's sources. The Vegan Connection has not verified this information.

A few online retailers of vegan wine can be found here. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ What's wrong with. . . Wines And Beers Wine is clarified, or cleared, after fermentation. Some of the ingredients used include: - edible gelatins (made from bones)- isinglass (made from the swim bladders of fish)- casein and potassium caseinate (milk proteins)- animal albumin (egg albumin and dried blood powder) [For more information see Vegan Wines available in the U.S. and The Wub. For two on-line retailers of vegan wine, ] In the UK beer (bitter) is also commonly fined using isinglass. Many bottled bitters and most lagers are vegan. Guinness is not suitable for vegans. Most spirits are vegan except for Campari (contains cochineal) and some Vodkas (passed through bone charcoal). [Click here for a list of vegan beers in the U.S. For the UK, see The UK Vegetarian Society's list of vegetarian beers.] Sugar Some refined sugars use bone charcoal as a decolourant. In the UK Tate and Lyle and Billingtons sugars are free of animal substances. British Sugar, trading as Silver Spoon (the largest UK supplier) state that their white sugar is vegan but they cannot guarantee their brown sugars as some bone charcoal may be used by their suppliers. No data is presently available concerning sugar in other countries. Cereals? In the UK all Kelloggs products are unsuitable for vegans as Vitamin D3 (of animal origin) is added. In the US some of Kellogg's cereals are apparently vegan, Kellogg's Nutri-Grain cereal (plain "Wheat" variety only) is a good vegan source of B12. Be careful though, the almond- raisin variety contains animal based glycerin. Crisps (Potato Chips)? Many manufacturers use whey as the flavour carrier. Check with your local vegan society as to what crisps are vegan. Sheesh! Anything Else? For sure. If a manufacturer can stick some part of an animal in something, chances are they probably will. Learn to be a fastidious label reader and avoid products not properly labelled unless you know for sure that they are suitable for vegans. Buy products from companies who make their stance on animal products known. Look out for ethically vegan companies and support them when possible. Some foods have "E" numbers listed in the ingredients, with no mention as to the source of these E numbers. Ones to definitely avoid include: 120 - cochineal542 - edible bone phosphate631 - sodium 5'-inosinate901 - beeswax904 - shellac920 - L-cysteine hydrochloride Un-numbered: calcium mesoinositol hexaphosphate, lactose, sperm oil, spermaceti Possibly animal derived: 101,101a,153,203,213,227,270,282,302,322,325,326,327,333,341a,3 41b,341c, 404,422,430,431,432,433,434,435,436,470,471,472a,472b,472c,472d ,472e,473, 474,475,476,477,478,481,482,483,491,492,493,494,495,570,572,627, 635 Un-numbered: calcium hepatonate, calcium phytate, diacetin-glyceryl, glyceryl diacetate, glyceryl triacetate, glycine, leucine, monoacetate, monoacetin, oxystearin, triacetin and any unspecified flavourings.

I'd not necessarily trust much in this message, as it happens. The following Kelloggs cereals are vegan in the UK: All-Bran Apricot Bites Chocolate Crispix Coco Pops Corn Flakes Frosties Frosties Chocolate Fruit 'n Fibre Fruit Winders Apple Fruit Winders Blackcurrant Fruit Winders Orange Fruit Winders Strawberry Just Right Oat Bran Flakes Raisin Wheats Rice Krispies It also perpetuates the health con that there actually is a vitamin D3. " Vitamin D3 " is actually cholecalciferol. It's not a vitamin, but naming it as such makes the name more memorable and also makes people assume that they must be deficient in something.
