Tohu Vegan Wines
To celebrate World Vegan Day 2020 the team at Tohu have compiled a quick list of all its vegan wines.
The reason not all wines are vegan- or vegetarian-friendly is down to the way a wine is clarified (i.e. made clear and bright) via a process called 'fining'. Young wines naturally contain proteins, tartrates, tannins and phenolics. These are in no way harmful, and most wines will eventually self-clarify. The most commonly used are casein (milk protein), albumen (egg white), gelatin (animal protein) and isinglass (fish bladder protein).
These following wines contain none of the above and are vegan friendly:
