St. James Fruit Wines is Vegan Friendly

Company email (May 2023)
" We do not use any dairy or animal by products to produce our wines. We are proud to say we are dairy free and vegan safe! And also Gluten free!"

Company email (December 2012):
"Our White wines can have isinglass and gelatin but it depends on the harvest and the season.

I prefer to answer these questions on a wine by wine basis.

As for the red wines - all our red wines except for the Country Red are vegan friendly.

I would add that the wines are all filtered and there are none of the aforementioned products in the wine once this process is complete – so it would depend on the stance of a particular vegan. Is it the exploitation of animals or is it a health choice – as this will determine whether they choose to drink most white wines on the market as a large number use gelatin – isinglas - eggs etc….We do not use eggs.

Either way the choice is up to the individual – I would add that I am a vegetarian/vegan and am more than willing to answer any questions that people have."

Company email:
"The fruit wines are fine. I would however advise you that the Catawba has gelatin, and from time to time we use some in the Concord as well."
