Vegan wines are simply wines made with no animal products. During the winemaking process, sediment is often removed from the wine by filtration and fining agents, some of which are made from casein, a protein found in milk. Winemakers can either choose to use plant-based fining agents, or not to at all, as is the case with some natural wines that take on an unusual cloudy appearance.
Wine Shop - Vegan wines - Chapel Down - 2019
Chapel Down
Chapel Down is one of the UK’s largest wineries, and winemaker Josh Donaghay-Spire produces a world-class range of sparkling and still wines. The sparkling wines are created using the Traditional Method, the same as Champagne, from fruit sourced from the South-East of England. They are the official supplier to No 10 Downing Street, the official sparkling wine of the Oxford & Cambridge Boat Races, the first English wine to be served at Ascot racecourse and the first English wine producer to feature in the London Stock Exchange's '1000 Companies to Inspire Britain' and the directory of 'Cool Brands™ 2016/17'. All rather impressive, and well deserved.
