Does anyone know a good source for finding out what wines, lagers, and ciders contain animal products. Whenever i bring it up with people they laugh at me and think i'm joking. I know that grolsh is veggie so i've stuck to that so far, but i'd like a bit more variety!!! Id appreciate any advice.

i've seen websites that list different boozes as vegan or not... why not try googling around for a list?

the stuff i've read usually talks about animal stuff being used to clarify the beverage, so when you go places they might laugh b/c there isn't "animal stuff" per se in the drink, but that it's used in the manufactoring process (kinda like the whole processed sugar being un-vegan thing).

There aren't too many wines. You have better luck with beer.
