At Healthy Hampers, we want our customers to know the ins and outs of vegan wine and how you can benefit from drinking it. Take your time to read through the below information and see what makes vegan wine special.

Vegan wines contain more resveratrol
Resveratrol is a compound found in grapes that can help weight loss, inflammation and improves elasticity in your skin. Organic wines tend to have a higher resveratrol potency, and a lot of the time, this also applies to vegan wine. With a positive input on the body, it’s no wonder individuals prefer vegan wines. For those who are wondering, red wine has a higher resveratrol count than white wine. At Healthy Hampers, we are expanding our vegan red wine options. Take a look at our Vegan Wine selection and see if we have the perfect gifts for your friends, family, work colleagues and everyone in between.
Most vegan wines are organic
As mentioned in the previous step, a lot of the time, vegan wines are also organic. However, it’s important to note that this doesn’t mean that all organic wines are vegan friendly. Vegan friendly wines are produced, fermented, clarified and aged in a way that aligns with vegan beliefs and values. Whereas, organic wines are developed without any chemical or artificial ingredients. This, however, does not mean that every organic wine is vegan friendly. While most vegan wines in Australia can be considered organic, it’s important to do a little research before purchasing. You can easily find out whether a vegan wine is organic by going to the brand's website.
Vegan wines can have fewer sulfites
All wines contain sulfites, after all, it’s a natural occurrence during the fermenting process, but did you know vegan wines have fewer sulfites? While many winemakers may add extra sulfites during the fermentation process, this isn’t the case for a lot of vegan and organic wines. Some individuals are allergic or sensitive to the compound which can cause headaches, joint pains, and inflammation. If you do know you are sensitive to sulfites, vegan wines are the best option. Knowing what the best options are for you can take some time and research, but doing so will be better for your body in the long run.
Vegan wines are cruelty free
Much like any other vegan product you purchase, vegan wines are cruelty free and guilt free. One of the main reasons people go on a vegan diet is to protect animal rights and welfare. But looking for alternative food options, you’re helping save animal lives and protest against animal cruelty. As mentioned above, while there are vegan wines available, a lot of wine production will use egg whites, fish bladders, and other animal products during the finning process. Vegan winemakers will use plant based finning products and help protect against animal cruelty.
There are fewer chemicals in vegan wine
Many vegan wines are made organically, which means there are few chemicals used throughout the production process. For vegan wines in Australia to be organic, no additives or preservatives can be used. Starting from the moment winemakers plant their crop, only natural herbicides, pesticides and fertilisers are allowed meaning fewer chemicals are going into your body. Vegan wines are a safer option for anyone who is consciously living.
Vegan wines are more environmentally friendly
The animal farming industry is a leading cause of environmental pollution and one of the best ways to combat it is by purchasing and using vegan products. And, as mentioned before, most vegan wines are also organic and help reduce chemical usage. Being environmentally friendly and caring about animal rights are some of the fundamentals of being vegan. At Healthy Hampers, all our vegan wine options are ethically sourced and produced. All our hampers contain reusable and recyclable packaging to help give back to the Earth. Take a look at our complete range of Vegan Wine products and give your loved ones a guilt free gift.
Vegan vines are worth the cost
In recent years, the price gap between vegan products and regular ones has drastically reduced. A lot of the time, vegan wines are cheaper than other options. But, even if a vegan wine in Australia is more expensive, your contribution is helping protect the environment and animal wellbeing. With natural delicious flavours and a range of options to choose from, vegan wines are a fantastic gifting option for your friends, family and work colleagues.
