We all know that wine is made using grapes, so there is a huge assumption that all wines are vegan friendly. However, this isn’t always the case. Some wineries will use egg whites or casein (a protein found in milk) to remove small particles from the wine that are missed during the filtration process. While this is known to be an effective method, there are other ways you can achieve the same result and still be vegan friendly.
With the rise of vegan friendly products, some wineries are turning to plant based products to filter particles out of their wines. And as more wineries are turning to vegan methods of filtration, there are more vegan wines available. The next time you purchase wine, think about the production process and see if there are any vegan friendly options for you to choose from.
Today we’re going to go over some of the top vegan wines available at Healthy Hampers and let you know what hampers they are included in. Take a look at what options are available to organise a completely vegan friendly gift for your friends, family members, and work colleagues.
Are there any benefits from drinking vegan wine?
While it can be easy to purchase vegan wines, is there any reason that you should? At Healthy Hampers, we know how important it is to look after your body and give back to the Earth. However, if you are struggling to know why you should turn to vegan safe wines, here are some benefits that might tempt you.
Vegan wines are more environmentally friendly
The most fundamental part of being vegan is living off a plant based diet. While this can also include home products and clothing, the most notable change is consuming plant based products. Being vegan can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ensure you have a smaller carbon footprint. As vegan wine is usually organic, there are fewer chemicals used throughout the production process, making them healthier for you and the environment.
Vegan wines are cruelty free
As mentioned above, vegan wines are created and filtered using plant based alternatives. This means that there is no animal involvement throughout the production process. Non vegan companies tend to use animal byproducts during production, while vegan friendly alternatives will stick to options that are cruelty free. Purchasing vegan friendly wines will show your support for animal rights and their wellbeing.
Vegan wines have lower levels of sulphites
Sulphites are an additive to foods to help them maintain shelf life, colour and prevent the growth of fungi or bacteria. As this can be an allergen for some individuals, looking for wines that are free from or have few sulphites can be beneficial to their health. Sulphites can be a natural product of fermentations, which means while they are not completely absent in vegan wines, there are lower levels of them. Any sulphites found in organic or vegan wine are naturally produced rather than added during the production process.

Check out our top vegan white wines
White wines are made from ‘white’ grapes that usually have a yellow or green hue, and different grapes are used to make different types of sparkling wines and champagnes. Some white wines are perfect for sweeter fruits and vegetables, while others work well with filling foods. All white wines are different, and the best way to learn how to pair them is by doing a little research. Now that some of the basics have been covered, take a look at our top vegan white wines.
