How To Find the Best Gluten Free Wine Brand

It may seem like everyone these days is gluten free.  Eliminating gluten from your diet can offer many benefits like improving digestive issues and inflammation, increasing energy levels, and have a positive impact on a variety of other health issues.  But does saying goodbye to gluten also mean saying goodbye to wine?  Is a gluten free wine brand even a thing and most importantly, is it any good?

What Does It Mean to Be Gluten Free?

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. For those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, consuming gluten can lead to digestive issues and other health problems.  Many choose to eliminate gluten from their diet to help improve their health.  

Is Wine Gluten Free?

The good news is that wine is naturally gluten free. However, the winemaking process can sometimes introduce gluten. This can happen through cross-contamination during production, by using fining agents derived from gluten-containing grains, aging wine in oak barrels sealed with wheat paste, or by adding extra flavors.  These do not happen commonly, but are something to be aware of if you are sensitive to traces of gluten.

How to Find a Gluten Free Wine Brand

So, how do you find gluten free wine brands? Look for labels that specifically state "gluten-free." Many wineries now offer certified gluten free wines. If you’re not sure, don’t hesitate to reach out the winery to confirm that their wines are gluten free.
