Marks & Spencer's Vegetarian Wines

Thoushaltnot

Which ones do you like?
Which ones would you recommend to a vegetarian friend?

They have to be marked with a "V", tho. (That's one thing M & S are quite good at - letting you know on the bottle's label, whether it's suitable for veggies or not.)

I need some recommendations, cheers!

from which we get

Vegetarian List (updated monthly) (everything except a booze section);

and Vegan List (comments, as above);

Ehm isn't wine made from grapes which I would have assumed were vegetarian? Is some other animal product usually added to wines?

Tar.Aldarion

isinglass (a very pure form of gelatine from sturgeon fish bladders), gelatine (extract from boiled cow's or pig's hooves and sinews), occasionally blood has been used as an additive

for vegans:

egg whites (or albumin) and caseins (a protein from milk).

Ye super fussy vegetarians give the rest of us a bad name. If it has a % on the side of it I'll drink it!

one word YUCK! used to be veggie and never even looked at my wine contents, still not a meat fan and having that rubbish floating around in my wine doesn't appeal, afraid to ask...is my bottle of Corona (sitting here in all it's ice cold limey glory in front of me) also full of nasty animal stuff?

Corona is vegan I believe.

Ye pretend vegetarians give the rest of us a bad name. If you eat or drink anything with dead animal bits in it, you're not a vegetarian. :cool:
