Apothic Inferno Wine

I was just wondering if anyone has ever had the Apothic Inferno red wine? It's aged in whiskey barrels, and wondering if its gluten-free? Anyone have a reaction? I cannot find any information on their website about it being gluten-free or not. 

 

Thank you.

Why wouldn't it be gluten-free?  whiskey is gluten-free. Wine is gluten-free.

I understand the science around distillation, but there appears to be at least a grey area on this question for some where gluten grains are used in spirits: https://www.verywell.com/will-whiskey-make-me-sick-if-im-gluten-free-562778  I didn't do well on whisky after going gluten-free and had already removed gluten based spirits prior to stopping drinking entirely. So each to their own on this question in my view. :)

Hi, I agree that it's not 100% that whisky/vodka etc are gluten free and it's to each their own to decide if they're willing to take the chance.  I have recently, in the past few days, been glutened and I think it's from the Apothic Crush.  I'm about to email them today to see what they say.

You will probably get the same answer from the wine maker.  As whiskey is considered gluten free by distillation, and wine is gluten free, they will tell you that the wine is gluten free. The percentage of people who say they react to whiskey is pretty small.....most Celiac's can drink whiskey once they have healed their gut.  I do not drink any hard liquor for different reasons but have had other wine by this label with no issues.  I have been gluten free for 12 years though.......I am very healed!

Yes, they said it was gluten-free but she couldn't confirm if they floured their barrels or the corks.  I guess I'll just stay away from Aphothic.  ;-(

This was the most comprehensive article on oak barrels I could find:

This wine is NOT gluten free. I am basing this on personal reaction only. I do have celiac disease but can usually drink red wine with no problem. I had this wine last night and was very sick all night and today. Since the only other things I ate yesterday were home cooked by myself I have to conclude it was the wine. Please if you have celiac do NOT drink this. If you aren’t celiac though you should try it cause it’s delicious.

If we are basing this on our experience only- I have had it many times and can say that I did not react - therefore it is gluten free.

Saying “I did not react - therefore it is gluten free” is not an accurate way to determine if something is actually completely gluten free. Everyone reacts differently to different AMOUNTS of gluten just like two people with an allergy to the same thing will react differently to different amounts of the allergen. Some people have no reaction to the 20 ppm gluten that is determined by the FDA to be “certified gluten free” but others will react to much smaller amounts of gluten than that. I was just saying that whatever amount of gluten is in that wine triggered a strong reaction in me.

It was in reply to someone that said if they think they react- then it contains gluten.  With that same way of thinking - I don’t react so it doesn’t contain gluten.

the fact is, if I stopped consuming everything someone on here insisted they had a gluten reaction to- there would be nothing to eat or drink.  

 Wine is considered safe and gluten free .

Hi. I am fully aware of the myth going around about gluten and wine, but it is just that... a myth. I have severe Celiacs and am in the wine business. Anytime gluten-free is on a wine label or a website description it is for marketing purposes. People in the business are flabbergasted as to why there is an idea out there that wine may have gluten. Barrels are never floured. That is not a thing. There is also no paste used on the barrels so you cannot get contaminated from that either. This is the first time I have heard the cork being floured so I asked and it is also not a thing. This applies to wineries all over the world. Some wine makers are horrified that people believe this. Stay away from a wine if it makes you uncomfortable or nervous to drink it, but please don't think you have been glutened from it... we have lost enough as it is we don't need to miss out on wine on top of it!

I have Dermititus Herpetiformis which is caused by gluten and I have twice been affected by Apothic Red wine. I will stop drinking it for this reason.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      Do you think a multi vitamin would be helpful! Also do symptoms got differently for everyone in regards to running to bathroom? I noticed regular oatmeal sometimes after eating or 1-2 hrs later I gotta go but on gluten-free no urgency. Sometimes I would eat 2 slices whole wheat and no issues for a few days so hard to pinpoint when it hits

      Hello again, @JessikaSwallow78! I think you already posted in another section of the forum. My goodness! You are dealing with quite a few health challenges! Anemia and vitamin/mineral deficiencies are very common with celiac disease. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel and reduces the ability to absorb vitamins and minerals from the food we eat. The lining of the small bowel is the section of the intestines where these things are absorbed and this issue may also be causing your discomfort after eating.  Constipation and diarrhea are classic GI symptoms with celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder and you already have two autoimmune disorders, namely, Raynauds and Fibromyalgia. I mention this because autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. When you have one, you often acquire others with time. I think your next step is to get tested for celiac disease. The initial step of testing involves a blood draw from which they check for antibodies which are fairly specific to celiac disease. Ask your doctor to order these two lab tests, TTG-IGA and Total IGA (aka, Immunoglobulin IGA), when he/she does the blood draw. Make sure you don't start cutting back on wheat products in the mean time or you will invalidate the testing. Keep us posted.
