During the winemaking process the wine is filtered with fining agents. These are recognized as traditional methods for wine fining and clarifying. Many of these fining agents are derived from animals, some include: Milk, Fish, Eggs, Gelatin (Beef and/or Pork). Generally, none of these products remain in the wine because they are removed by filtration prior to bottling.
We do not make any claims about being suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets since there are many variations in fining which may involve ingredients not suitable for all formats of the vegan and or vegetarian lifestyle. Generally, none of these ingredients remain in the wine because they are removed by filtration prior to bottling."

"Our winemakers tell us that gelatin and proteins from animal or fish products and milk or eggs have been used in winemaking for centuries and are recognized as traditional methods for wine fining, or clarifying."
Heidy notes (July 2017)
"Hi I contacted alamos wine and they use a beef gelatin in [their] filtration process so this wine is not vegan!"
