Egg whites in Wine

[Guest guest]

Thanks Mike. I always thought fortune cookies had

eggs/egg whites and so haven't eaten them. Well, I

guess I am missing my fortunes..huh..

 

Moving on to another topic, I never knew that egg

whites are used in refining process of some

wines(mostly red wines). I kind of enjoy drinking my

red wines(before I heard about this from a wine

maker). Who would have thought huh?

 

Well, here's the story about it?

 

Wine makers use some binding substance to remove the

grape sediments from wine. They call it

refining/filtering process. Some of the wine makers

use egg whites/sea food products which seem to have

good protein, and so acts as a good binding agent.

 

After hearing it, I stopped drinking red wine from

wineries who I don't know any information about. I

mailed some of them and I knew atleast a few who don't

use egg whites. Mostly local wineries...

 

1. Savannah Channelle

2. Thomas Fogerty

3. La Crema..

 

Hope this information is helpful. If you happen to

know about any other winery which don't use egg

whites/sea food, please update the list and send it to

this group. It would help all of us....

 

Thanks,

Kris
