Not all alcoholic beverages are vegan. Sometimes animal products are used in the “fining”* or colouring processes. 

Some of the animal-derived products used include:

• Blood and bone marrow

• Casein (milk protein)

• Chitin (fiber from crustacean shells)

• Egg albumen (derived from egg whites)

• Fish oil and gelatin (protein from boiling animal parts)

• Isinglass (gelatin from fish bladder membranes) 

​

Here you can find out what some of the many vegan-friendly alcoholic beverages are.
