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.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think going back to your GI isn't a bad idea - my visits to the GI did not stop following my diagnosis as I had annoying issues on and off for some time.  Thankfully he is a fantastic GI, with  a great sense of humour, so it wasn't a chore to see him again although I'd rather not have had to, obviously!  But I needed my mind to be put at rest as my symptoms didn't seem to go away overnight as I'd hoped they would.  Initially I recall he recommended I went Dairy Free for three weeks, and he told me it would take that time to see an effect.  At that time, even lactose free milk went straight through me, so it is important, I would say, to even avoid that during a Dairy Free trial. My ongoing symptoms were bloating which did respond a bit to that trial.   However, within about 18 months there was a return to a very sore stomach, plus various aches and pains.   It turned out some gluten was sneaking in with my iron supplement (I was buying Floradix instead of Floravital), but I also think the dishwasher, the oven and eating out were contributors, too. Before my numbers normalised (from memory, about eight years!) I had several follow up appointments and a few more tests, but things gradually did get better.  Having read many accounts on this forum over the years, I don't think it is uncommon for symptoms to get a bit worse before getting better, that was certainly the case with me.  Your gut is damaged so you may well have issues digesting other food in the short term. But do try to be as scrupulously gluten free as you can possibly be as a first step, and I'd definitely try a three week Dairy Free trial.   Your villi because they are damaged are not able to create the lactase required to digest dairy at this time so you may well see some improvement if you come off dairy for a while.  Perhaps keeping a food diary of what you eat, where you eat it, whilst a bit onerous to do, will help identify foods that are causing issues.  For a while, apart from oats, I found peas, lentils and soya products hugely aggravating.  Things should calm down.

      Thankfully those are normal. B12 was on the low end of the normal range when I first got diagnosed. When I last got it checked, it had come up a lot (455 last time checked).

      mystery gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  I didn't notice any gluten ingredients in Kirkland Almond non-dairy beverage, however it does contain Locust Bean Gum. Some gums may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:

      For the past few months, I've been taking several supplements (a multi-vitamin, an iron supplement, a vitamin C supplement, and a magnesium supplement), all of which state that they are gluten free on the label.
