Before we go into a deep dive about the different types of gluten free wine, at Healthy Hampers, we know that most wines are gluten free, however, there are times when gluten can be present. This can occur due to cross contamination and pre-made wine beverages. 

While there are naturally gluten free wines, it’s important to look into the production process to ensure there is no cross contamination. Traces of gluten may not be completely bad for people who are gluten intolerant, but they can be for those with celiac disease. During the fining process of wine production, to help clarify their wines, companies will use fining agents. If a winemaker uses a gluten based fining agent this can lead to gluten contaminants being present in the wine. Generally speaking, while this cross contamination can occur, wine is vastly considered to be gluten free and safe. 

The only wine beverages that may not be gluten free are wine coolers, wine flavoured beverages and pre-made wine cocktails. These options can contain other gluten based ingredients that can be harmful to anyone on a gluten free diet. 

If you do experience a reaction to wine go to your GP for medical assistance. 


Are there any benefits to drinking gluten free wine? 

Now that we have gone over some of the ways wine may not be safe, let’s take a look at the benefits of gluten free wines. At Healthy Hampers, we know how important it is to understand everything about the food you consume. So, here are some benefits to drinking gluten free wine. 


Gluten free wines are rich with antioxidants

Most wines are rich with antioxidants, and this also extends to gluten free wines. Antioxidants help prevent cellular damage. Red wine has a higher count of antioxidants when compared to white. Drinking a moderate amount of gluten free wine will give your body more antioxidants which can help decrease the risk of disease. Much like any substance, overconsumption can cause health concerns, and just the right amount is good for your body. 


Gluten free wine can help your mental health

The occasional glass of wine can help your mental wellbeing. It allows you to relax and help you manage stress. Having a glass of gluten free wine allows you to focus on yourself and can reduce the risk of depression. Every now and then it’s important to relax and reset during times of high stress. However, excess drinking can have the opposite effect, so it’s best to consume gluten free wine in moderation.  


Gluten free wine is keto friendly

As most wines are considered gluten free, depending on the calorie intake, you can also have wine on a keto diet. Most keto products are also gluten free, so if you’re organising a keto friendly gift, have you thought about including some gluten free wine? Most gluten free wines are low carb and perfect for anyone on a keto diet. You only need to do a little research to find the best low carb gluten free wine types for you.
