What makes a wine vegan?

The simple difference between vegan and non-vegan wine is all to do with a process called fining. Wines naturally clarify and stablise over time, but processing aids known as fining agents are used to speed up the process. These are usually made from animal products, such as milk proteins and egg whites. So, to make vegan-friendly wines, winemakers use non-animal fining products instead. Ready to make your next glass vegan? Here are just some of the beautiful bottles you should keep an eye out for...

SPAR Vine & Bloom Rosé £6.49, just £4.99 for January

Light with a lovely brambly and floral flavour, this rosé is a real crowdpleaser and pairs perfectly with vegan sushi – think shiitake mushroom or avocado nigiri and cucumber rolls – and pasta salads. A chickpea, black olive, green pepper, red onion and cherry tomato penne salad, dressed with a homemade vinaigrette, will be a great match.

SPAR Regional Selection South African Fairtrade Chenin Blanc Reserve £6.49, just £5.49 for January

Part of the Regional Selection celebrating wine regions around the world, this Fairtrade chenin blanc comes from Breedekloof, South Africa, and won a gold medal at the

Another Regional Selection wine, this stunning red just won a silver medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards and was included in the Sud de France Languedoc-roussillon top 100 wines.
