I am wondering what other options are out there in place of sulfides? My wife is a vegetarian and we would like to keep our wine as vegetarian/vegan as we can. What methods are there?
You can not really get away from sulfites in wine. They occur naturally in grapes. By adding it to wine, you are only increasing something that is already there. If you buy a wine in the store that says "no added sulfites" you are still getting the same amount. Instead of adding it to the wine itself, most of these wineries will measure the sulfite level in the grapes on the vine and increase it through the watering system if needed. I have even seen a winery spread the powder on the ground so the rain would wash it in.
Hmm, very interesting. Okay, so sulfides aside then, what can I use in stead of the isinglass or gelatin?
