Vegan Wine
Myths and Truths
Many wine bars and retailers have started to market their drinks as vegan friendly in response to the growth of veganism. Here are some things you should know about it.
All wine is vegan
Myth! Despite wine being made of grape juice, a lot of it isn’t vegan at all. This is due to some traditional fi ning agents, which are used to speed up the clarifi cation process. Among them are gelatine (obtained from animal skin), albumen (egg whites), casein (milk proteins) and isinglass (derived from fi sh bladders). Other animal products used in wine production may include beeswax to seal bottles and agglomerated corks with milkbased glues.
Vegans can drink wine
Truth! They can, although it is always best to check with the supplier. According to current regulations in the EU and US, wine makers are not obliged to list information on all animal derivatives they use.
Organic wines are always vegan friendly
Myth! Organic and biodynamic refers to the way in which the grapes are grown, not the processing involved.
Vegan wine doesn’t taste diff erently
Truth! It tastes just like any other wine, so you will likely fi nd good and bad sorts. Vegan wine is made in the same way, using the same grapes, and the only difference is its fi ning process.
Manufacturing of vegan wine is not too complex
Truth! Winemakers either leave the particles to sink naturally to the bottom of the wine, or use non-animal fi ning products – such as bentonite, pea protein and silica gel.
No wine can be considered 100% vegan
Myth! Yes, there is always a certain number of insects, which unavoidably end up in the press. Still, it is not relevant for vegan certifi cation, because products with animal traces that get into the product unintentionally are not part of the recipe.

DEVI DELI
göttlich vegan
From an idea we got during Stockholm holiday in 2014 to the fi rst vegan deli in Zurich – this is how our shop was born! And YES, WE GAN! is our motto.
The plan was to create a hip, lively, crowded, people- and animal-friendly place. And then, of course, the business strategy had to be a spiritual one because of our own years of becoming conscious. We are Karin, the idea spinner, and Denise, the customer whisperer – partners in life, love and business, 52 and 67 years old, senior HR controller and senior HR consultant. We’ve fi nanced the whole thing ourselves because autonomy and independence are extremely important to us. y, We love people! All our customers are greeted warmly, and we always take time for them. Personality matters the most for us. We value real abilities and passions, not the certifi cates. That’s why we have a stable, mega-diverse team with many years of experience and also trainees who make their fi rst attempts at work. We believe that authenticity is the new professionalism, which means that we try all products ourselves before offering them to the clients. We work closely with our “tiny vegan food entrepreneurs”, who produce unique delicacies in their private certifi ed kitchens. Our vegan pâtisserie is full of unique cupcakes, brownies, macarons, muffi ns, cinnamon rolls – and a large part of it is raw, sugar and gluten free. We have premium products from all over Switzerland. There is a huge vegan cheese counter with hard and soft, blue and white mould, subtle and ripe, cashew, and coconut oil sorts... you name it!
In addition, we offer the tastiest vegan alternatives to salami, carpaccio, sausages. And, of course, we have great vegan wines! Our shop is cosy and cute, it’s always surrounded by a high-spiriting atmosphere.
