White Wine

Hi,

I've been gluten-free for about a year and would like to try drinking some white wine. I'm not sure whether there are some additives I should know about. Is all wine gluten-free? Can you suggest some gluten-free brands?

Thank you,

Jen

I don't know any brands who add gluten but the best way to find out is call a few companies and ask.

I would think that most wines are gluten free. Since you have not had any wine in some time, I would start out slow. Enjoy, but slowly. :)

Thanks for your replies. I can't imagine that gluten would be added to wine, but you never know. Have you had any reactions to wine?

Thanks,

Jen

Some people have problems with wine, but it is not gluten. I think it is the sufites? You might wan't to try an organic wine. They do not contain sulfites.

Enjoy!

I don't know of any wines that contain gluten but if any did I might guess that it was those that had an added flavor like peach or berry. Gget a good quality bottle and enjoy a glass! Organics are great- we have a winery native to our area that makes great wines!

I thought grapes & wine contained natural sulfites-- remember that from another thread. Anyone know?

I think there are naturally occuring sulfites in wine. The differences is with the organic they do not add any? Is this right?

The only wine I found that has gluten is some Ports so don't drink those without checking them.

in the beginning of my gluten-free life, i stuck with sutter home & gallo wines. i have come to learn from several different sources that all white wine is gluten free. my favorites (for at home are mondavi and vendage). but it's quite nice to go out and order a drink without hundreds of questions and special concessions to be made. i simply ask for a white wine and have had no problems. for crazier nights - i go with bacardi "o" and 7-up. but mostly stick with wine due to having less of a hangover! enjoy!

Wow, I'm shocked about Port. I'm going to have to check on this. My boyfriend and I have had several varieties on various occasions and I haven't had a problem yet. I guess I'll have to be more vigilant in calling first.

I did some research and found out that wines wouldn't "contain" gluten, but might be filtered through grains to eliminate sediment (for white wines). Some are filtered through coal, some through grains, some through screens, but not metal, because that changes the wines aging process. The cheaper ones use grain, but even that is rare now. That might explain why SOME people get sick SOME of the time.

Hi Jen, Some wines do have gluten in them, althought if you get their phone number off the bottle and call they can usually inform you. I have been glutenfree for bout 5 years and have found some really good wine. All Barefoot wines are gluten-free.I know ladybug is gluten-free but have never been able to find it.Bonterra is an excellent gluten-free wine both red and white.These wines are not expensive so if your looking for the pricier ones cant help ya. Good luck.

Hi,

I've been gluten-free for about a year and would like to try drinking some white wine. I'm not sure whether there are some additives I should know about. Is all wine gluten-free? Can you suggest some gluten-free brands?

Thank you,

Jen

If you look at the labelling forum, you will find a discussion of this. There are two ways allergens can get into wine. There are fining agents that take sediment out. This can be a form of clay, egg, casein, or some part of a fish. This is why some wines are considered vegan and some aren't. Some say they have reacted to fining agents before. I haven't noticed anything myself ... but then, any reaction I might have been blaming on something else :huh:

I haven't heard of grain as a fining system or anything special about port, or white wine versus red wine. I'm not an expert, though. I just read one article.

The way I've read that gluten MIGHT get into wine is if it is kept in barrels using a wheat-based glue. I haven't seen anyone say they reacted to this, though.

The FDA has a proposal out now to require labeling of such allergens. The vintners are opposing it. They say no one has been proven to react to these things or even if the stuff exists in the final product.

I would drink it. I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t be gluten-free?

I am pretty sure Gallo uses stainless steel to contain their white wine like most wineries.   It is cheaper for sure.  Might be different for specialty boutique wineries, but even then, I have never been glutened by wine.  

It is safe to drink wine!  It is gluten free.  ?. If you do react, you might have an intolerance to alcohol (hard to digest when your gut is damaged), have yeast/fermentation issues, tannin issues, etc.  But you will not get a gluten exposure.

      That somes it up. It is worth mentioning GliadinX does not reduce symptoms for me at all. I also react to banana, avacado, cabbage, Oatmeal, and pecans among other things. If anyone else out there is like me, I had to eliminate gluten and all processed food before I could start to heal. I wish I had know this a long time ago. Thanks for the acknowledgement...

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      Thanks for sharing this detailed explanation. It’s really helpful to understand the differences between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. I had no idea that gluten withdrawal could feel similar to addiction, and it’s great to have that context when considering how it affects people. It’s also good to know how important it is to continue eating glute...

TRANSGLUA is, aka, TTG-IGA, another celiac disease antibody test. It was in normal range. tranigg is, aka, TTG-IGG, still another celiac disease antibody test. It was high, or above normal range. immaqnt is, I believe, what is also known as "total IGA" and at 160, looks to be in normal range since it wasn't flagged otherwise. This is a test for IGA deficiency. If someone is IGA deficient then all other IGA test scores cannot be trusted as being accurate. You are not IGA deficient. Here is a primer explaining the various tests that can be used to diagnose celiac disease: Celiac disease blood antibody testing is not valid when someone has been gluten free or eating low gluten for a significant period of time. The IGA tests are more specific for celiac disease than are the IGG tests but your slightly high TTG-IGG test score could reflect that you have celiac disease and have had low level exposure to gluten over time or a recent exposure. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      I'm 70, had gut issues my whole life.  15 years ago my grandchild was diagnosed with celiac.  Since I had a constant either constipation or diarrhea and what the doctors thought was fibromyalgia and other issues I decided to see what happens if I quit gluten.  I got a lot better.  BTW, 30 years ago I had head & neck cancer, the radiation destroyed my thyroid.  I suffer from chronic fatigue and have to take synthroid. A few months ago, I bought a bottle of Ice water, I was thirsty and all they had at the motel was this.  It said sugar free and had a bunch of vitamins.  I couldn't read the fine print so I thought it's safe, so I bought several bottles (it had sucralose and maltodextrin in it).  I thought one per day would be ok and it absolutely was delicious.  In the meantime, my wife found some links and bratwurst for breakfast, we didn't know it had wheat in it and we picked up a half gallon of her favorite ice cream and unknown to us they had changed the formula and added wheat.  I had several meals and several bottles before I realized something was wrong.  Did all the sugar add to the issue?   In a day, I wasn't feeling well, my joints started swelling.  In a couple days, I thought sure I had gout in both hands.  In three days, I needed help to stand up or sit down, the pain was extreme.  I went to the emergency room.  They took blood and gave me cholchistine to alleviate the gout, it did nothing.  I didn't get a report on the test.  The next week the doctor ordered more blood tests and it's all acronyms but a couple items on celiac were listed as high.  The nurse I asked about the report had no clue and the RA was negative.  This has been ongoing for over a month and only now am I able to use my hands, but it's painful. Under the Celiac labs headline it says:  endomys-Negat gliaiga-  5 gliaigg-  1 TRANGLUA -3 tranigg-  8  (high) immaqnt-  160 Rheumatoid factor <12 Thyroid stimulating hormone: 2.81 Does anyone know what this means?
