i read in another part of the message board that absolut vodka contains no gluten. i was just wondering if any of you have had reactions to it? i got a bottle for my birthday and want to make sure before i indulge haha

thanks a lot

Distilled Alcohols (vodka, gin, scotch, etc) do not contain gluten.

However, some people are more sensitive to the fact they are wheat/grain based than other people. It depends on your sensitivity.

Strangely enough, 5 years ago, I could not drink wheat/grain based vodka.

However, I drink Ketel One every time I go out now and do not have any problems.

It sucks to say, but it is a trial and error thing for you...

I drink it too with no problems..........I'm glad it worked for you!! The different absolut flavors make for an excellent evening :)try absolut apeach with orange juice and a splash of genadine, or the usual absolut vanilla with coke......also good is absolut rasberri, manderin and then sex on the beach stuff.......

sorry i'm a bartender ahha!

Hey, i'm a new member, though i've had celiac disease all i'm life. I was just wondering if anyone knows if Smirnoff and Bacardi are ok?

Edit* nevermind I just did some looking on other forums and it looks like Bacardi is ok, and Smirnoff vodka is but not the twists.

Does anyone know if amaretto is gluten-free? It's not on the safe list, but I don't see what's in it that would make it contain gluten ... I don't get reactions so I have no way of doing trial and error or knowing if I ever get glutened.

Also, what's a good reference to find gluten-free alcohols ... my doctors are still at Children's Hospital and have no idea about liquors
