From beach days to barbecues, we've got the cruelty-free wine for all your seasonal festivities!
Shopping for a little vino for your summer soirees? You're in luck! From bottles of refreshing sauvignon blanc for your plant-based dinners to eco-friendly boxed cabernets that complement campfires and s’mores, we have the cruelty-free wine selection to keep you sipping all summer long.
Is Wine Vegan?
Before you raise your glass and cheers to summer sipping, it’s important to make sure your libations are vegan-friendly. We know what you’re thinking—aren’t all wines vegan? While we wish they were, not all vino varieties are free from animal ingredients. We often see animal byproducts used in the fining process of winemaking where winemakers may use egg whites, milk protein, or fish extract to enhance the appearance of their wines.
On the flip side, vegan-friendly winemakers opt for clay or plant proteins in place of these animal-derived ingredients—a much better option if you ask us. So, let’s be sure to support our cruelty-free winemakers this season by sipping responsibly and checking out our list of the best vegan wines for summer!
Pali Wine Co.
Serving up fine wine and good times, Pali Wine Co. produces a premium selection of pinot noir and chardonnay sourced primarily from vineyards in the Santa Rita Hills and neighboring wine-growing regions where the soil is rich and perfect for grape agriculture.
