Wine Coolers Bartles & Jaymes

[Judyin Philly]

Mrs. Lockyer,

I know that there have been posts before about this but I was still confused.

Some say PA didn't have anywithout Malt...anyway here is the written responce i got today.

It seems to me that IF you can get it and the malt isn't on the label..it's ok.

Let me know if I am correct because it's how i read this letter.

Thank you for contacting us. We appreciate your interest in our winery.

In response to your inquiry, all of the wines and champagnes produced by E. & J. Gallo Winery, Modesto, California are completely free of gluten or any gluten by-products.

Under our Bartles & Jaymes product line we produce two kinds of coolers; a wine-base and a malt-base as indicated by the label. The wine cooler is gluten free. Under the Boone's and Boone's Farm line we produce both wine-base and malt-base products. The wine base is gluten-free. In addition, our winemakers advise that our cider beverages under the "Hornsby's" label do contain gluten. Also, our winemakers advise the brandy made by E&J Distillers, including Cask & Cream, may contain trace amounts of gluten.

We appreciate your giving us this opportunity to answer your questions. We hope this information is helpful.

I haven't been able to find the non-malt ones in Virginia, but the other news here is the Hornsby. Over the years there have bveen rumors on various that at least one of the Hornsby ciders -- maybe all -- weren't gluten-free. This puts that to rest.
