I am passing this along this info was provided to me on Raw Washington (yahoo group) by The Sidecar of pigs for peace ( a vegan store in U district)
I beleive they can still have added ingredients such as ‘fish
bladders’.sugar, etc

Yeah, unfortunately organic does not equal animal-free in the alcohol
beverage world. Isinglass, however, is just one animal byproduct
used
for beer and wine.
Gelatin from cow and pig sinews, albumin from egg, and casein from milk
are also used as fining mediums.
The vegan alternative (equally effective) is bentonite clay.

So gross and unneccesary to use animal byproducts. My family makes their own wine in their cellars and they don’t use animal byproducts or filth.
It could use a little sugar sometimes(cough, cough)
Thanks for the links:-)
