Vegan Wine - 2023

After moving to the States, trying to find vegan wine seemed so daunting. In Australia labelling laws require wines to state whether they are vegan or not (by way of disclosing if any animal products used in the making of the wine). The hardest part in the States is finding out if it's vegan, and then if you do find one, finding a good one. Different states have different laws as well so there might be a great vegan wine in California that is not able to be sold in Florida. Florida is one of the strictest. The laws are there to give local wineries a chance but when the local wineries are either not good or not vegan then that's when I take issue.

Here are some wines (available in Florida at least) that hopefully will suit everyone's budget and taste! They are wines that I have tried and liked and that are available online from Lueken's Liquor or Total Wine. For some reason there are "Not sold in Florida" wines that are sold on the Lueken's website even though it's Florida based so look there first!

Not in Florida or can't find these wines in your area? Barnivore.com is a database there to help locate vegan wine, beer and spirits. You can even contribute! If you email a winery and they give you the vegan green light, forward the email to Barnivore.com and they will add it. Another hot tip (you're welcome) is to download the wine list of any fancy vegan restaurants in your state - they've done the research for you so their wine list should already be vegan and somewhat available to the general public.
