Vegan Alcoholic Drinks
With more and more people adopting a vegan diet and lifestyle, more companies are creating vegan-friendly alternatives to popular products of theirs, which ordinarily contain animal-derived products. If you’re thinking of going vegan, choosing alcohol can be challenging and we want to make it easier for you. Here’s what you need to know about vegan friendly alcohol drinks.
Why isn’t my beer or wine necessarily vegan friendly?
Wine is typically made by taking grapes, extracting their natural juices, and using yeast – sometimes naturally occurring yeast, fermenting the natural sugars into alcohol. Beer making can be more complex but typically it is made by using hops and grains. The primary ingredients used to make beer and wine are vegan friendly, so how come not all beers and wines are vegan friendly? Well, this is because of some ingredients that are added later on in the process. One thing you’ve probably noticed is that most beers and wines are served crystal clear and transparent. If most people were served a cloudy wine or beer, they’d probably think it was ‘off’ and may ask for a replacement. This transparent finish is obtained during the filtration process and it is here where the non-vegan friendly ingredients are sometimes added. Sometimes you’ll find that fish gelatin and Isinglass are used to clarify beer and wine. Isinglass is made from fish bladders. Other ingredients sometimes used in the filtration process include eggshells, egg whites, and more. These are designed to filter out the impurities to leave you with a clean and aesthetically pleasing looking beverage. As well as the ingredients used in the filtration process, sometimes non-vegan friendly flavourings such as honey and lactose are also added, for extra flavour and perception. The good news is that there are now a lot more vegan beers and wines to choose from.
How to tell if your beers and wines are vegan friendly.
As mentioned, there are now more vegan drinks to choose from than ever before, though you need to know where to look. The problem is that, by law in most countries, breweries do not need to list animal products used in the processing stages unless it is being served in a restaurant. What’s more Isinglass and fish gelatin are not normally classed as allergens, so they may not be included on the list of potential allergens either. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology however, there are now countless resources available at our disposal. Websites such as Barnivore have a very extensive list of beers and wines so you can check whether your favourite brands can indeed be classed as vegan beers or wines. However, to make things a lot easier for you, we have highlighted a great selection of alcoholic drinks that are vegan right here! Please drink responsibly. Drinkaware
