Okay, so now I'm a bit confused. I had a list of gluten-free alcohols I've been refering to that said Hornsby's Ciders are okay, and that Woodchucks are not okay. (and the Woodchuch website said they can not verify they are gluten-free). So, then I looked at a delphi list that said the opposite--Hornsby's are not gluten-free, and Woodchucks are. Ah! Anyone have a definitive feeling on these? Also, what are some of the alcoholic beverages people do drink on the board? I used to love Smirnoffs triple filter malt beverages. Anyone have any ideas ?

Hornsby's Ciders are NOT gluten-free. Woodchuck, Ciderjack, Strongbow, are great and I haven't had any issues drinking them. All hard alcohols are technically gluten-free due to the distillation process even those that originated from grains. But, to be 100% safe avoid the ones that were distilled from grain. Additionally, some companies add fillers/flavorings that contain gluten so read the ingredients. Wines are great too. There are a few gluten-free beers out there gaining ground including Bi-Aglut in Italy, Ramapo Valley Brewing Company in NY, Bard's Beer in NY, and one near Montreal.
