Are there any certified gluten-free yeasts for wine making?

[Androshen]

My wife is celiac and it never occurred to me until I saw it mentioned in these forums that yeast may not be gluten-free.
Does any one know of any yeasts for wine making that are gluten-free? I know that Wyeast has a couple for beers but they did not have any mention of any for wines.

Direct from Red Star's webpage...

Red Star®, SAF® and bakipan® Yeast do not contain wheat gluten or other cereal protein that cause allergic reactions in people with gluten intolerance.

My sister has celiacs too and has never had any issues with my wines that I exclusively use lalvin with.

Fermentis yeasts are all gluten free as well.

All Fermentis dry brewing yeasts are grown on non grain substrates and as such are certified gluten free.

Of course, Fermentis dry wine yeast is the same product as Red Star Wine yeast...
