Bad News...

Big Bad Effing news in fact. Made a mammoth discovery this morning while doing a little research on vegan/vegetarian lifestyle. You know what's NOT vegetarian in all cases? Any guesses?

Wine.




That's right, apparently A LOT of wineries use fish stomachs and animal products (is there anything gelatin is not in?) in the production and filtration of their wine. And by A LOT, I mean just about every winery I've heard of. And while we haven't committed to an entirely vegan lifestyle yet, simply a vegetarian lifestyle, the thought of by products of animal slaughter really really kills my good vino induced mood. We were already contemplating switching entirely to organic wine, (well I was, PB did a little price comparison and stated he was a-ok with $7.99 Barefoot still) and preferable drinking "local" and now I have another criteria to add to the mix. Picking a wine just got a whole lot harder.



Good news? Moet is veg friendly. So that's awesome, because we drink A LOT of Moet. (I jest...)



Better news? My favorite beer is veg friendly. And its beginning to feel a lot like beer season.



In the meantime, I'm taking on the very important and time consuming task of cross referencing New Brunswick Liquor's product listing and the list of veg friendly wines found on my new go to website Barnivore.
