Hi Everyone,

I have been doing some research on product suitable for vegetarians and am

mortified to learn about rennet. I had no idea what it was (I think it was

mentioned on this group hence my curiosity) and to me it is almost worse than

eating meat. What's that saying - ignorance is bliss. Anyway, in my research I

also found that some alcohol is not suitable for vegetarians (including my two

favourties lol). I thought others might be interested to know.

Hi Diana,

Here's what I found out about vegetarian wines: most wines use 'animal

products' during the fining " process. Fining is a wine processing stage that

uses proteins obtained from animal products to remove unwanted color, haze,

bitterness, excessive astringency, off-flavors, unpleasant odors, etc. Usually,

the fining agent itself is eliminated before the wine is bottled.

Alternatively, vegetarian wines use Bentonite during the fining process instead

of any animal products. If you are a strict vegetarian, you should look at the

wine's certifications to make sure it is vegetarian.

Hope that helps,

Penne

So one wouldn't be ingesting the fining product. The concern would be for the

animals from which the fining product is made. Thank you. Now I have to get out

wine bottles and look for certifications. Golly, this being a vegetarian

involves lots of label reading. LOL!

can you publish you info on what alcohol is not suitale for vegetarians?

I knew about rennet, but recently learned that gelatin capsules are made from

animal products.

I can't remember taking anything in a gelatin capsule since the 1980's when I

used an energy product called " guarana " that was recommended to me so I could

stay up late when I needed make a deadline. I think it's been banned in the US

now. It was very powerful, and you could not eat, so people started taking it to

diet.
