Collection: Vegan Wine

Vegan wine is produced without animal-derived fining agents, focusing instead on alternative clarification methods or minimal intervention winemaking. The range here covers expressive wines with freshness, texture and balance across both classic and low-intervention styles.

Explore More of Our Collection

Vegan wine is made without the use of animal-derived fining agents during the winemaking process. Although wine itself is produced from grapes, many traditional wines are clarified using products such as egg white, casein (milk protein), gelatin or isinglass from fish bladders to remove sediment and soften texture before bottling.

Vegan wines instead use alternatives such as bentonite clay, pea protein or natural settling to clarify the wine without relying on animal products. Many low-intervention producers also avoid fining altogether, leaving wines unfined and sometimes unfiltered in order to preserve texture, flavour and vineyard character more naturally.

Our vegan wine range focuses on growers producing expressive, flavour-driven wines across both classic and minimal intervention styles, from crisp whites and chilled reds to orange wine, pét-nat and more structured cellar-worthy bottles. Alongside certified vegan wines, the collection also includes many organically farmed and lower-intervention wines that naturally avoid animal-based processing methods.

Expect vibrant fruit, freshness, texture and wines chosen for balance and drinkability rather than heavily manipulated winemaking. Styles range from mineral whites and juicy reds to skin-contact wines and naturally sparkling bottles, reflecting the growing overlap between vegan winemaking, organic farming and minimal intervention approaches.

Whether you're specifically looking for certified vegan wine or simply interested in more transparent and lower-intervention wine production, this collection brings together wines made with care in both vineyard and cellar while avoiding animal-derived fining agents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is vegan wine?

Vegan wine is wine made without the use of any animal-derived products at any stage of production, particularly during the fining and clarification process.

Why isn’t all wine vegan?

Some wines use animal-based fining agents such as egg whites, milk proteins, fish bladder (isinglass) or gelatin to clarify the wine, which makes them non-vegan.

How is vegan wine made?

Vegan wines are clarified using plant-based or mineral alternatives such as bentonite clay, or are left unfined and unfiltered to allow natural sediment to settle.

Does vegan wine taste different?

No. Vegan and non-vegan wines taste the same because fining agents are removed during production and do not affect the final flavour.

How can I tell if a wine is vegan?

Look for “vegan” labels on the bottle or check producer information, as certification or clear labelling indicates no animal products were used.

Is organic wine the same as vegan wine?

No. Organic wine refers to how grapes are grown, while vegan wine refers specifically to whether animal products were used in the winemaking process.
