White Wine

Hi,

I've been gluten-free for about a year and would like to try drinking some white wine. I'm not sure whether there are some additives I should know about. Is all wine gluten-free? Can you suggest some gluten-free brands?

Thank you,

Jen

I don't know any brands who add gluten but the best way to find out is call a few companies and ask.

I would think that most wines are gluten free. Since you have not had any wine in some time, I would start out slow. Enjoy, but slowly. :)

Thanks for your replies. I can't imagine that gluten would be added to wine, but you never know. Have you had any reactions to wine?

Thanks,

Jen

Some people have problems with wine, but it is not gluten. I think it is the sufites? You might wan't to try an organic wine. They do not contain sulfites.

Enjoy!

I don't know of any wines that contain gluten but if any did I might guess that it was those that had an added flavor like peach or berry. Gget a good quality bottle and enjoy a glass! Organics are great- we have a winery native to our area that makes great wines!

I thought grapes & wine contained natural sulfites-- remember that from another thread. Anyone know?

I think there are naturally occuring sulfites in wine. The differences is with the organic they do not add any? Is this right?

The only wine I found that has gluten is some Ports so don't drink those without checking them.

in the beginning of my gluten-free life, i stuck with sutter home & gallo wines. i have come to learn from several different sources that all white wine is gluten free. my favorites (for at home are mondavi and vendage). but it's quite nice to go out and order a drink without hundreds of questions and special concessions to be made. i simply ask for a white wine and have had no problems. for crazier nights - i go with bacardi "o" and 7-up. but mostly stick with wine due to having less of a hangover! enjoy!

Wow, I'm shocked about Port. I'm going to have to check on this. My boyfriend and I have had several varieties on various occasions and I haven't had a problem yet. I guess I'll have to be more vigilant in calling first.

I did some research and found out that wines wouldn't "contain" gluten, but might be filtered through grains to eliminate sediment (for white wines). Some are filtered through coal, some through grains, some through screens, but not metal, because that changes the wines aging process. The cheaper ones use grain, but even that is rare now. That might explain why SOME people get sick SOME of the time.

Hi Jen, Some wines do have gluten in them, althought if you get their phone number off the bottle and call they can usually inform you. I have been glutenfree for bout 5 years and have found some really good wine. All Barefoot wines are gluten-free.I know ladybug is gluten-free but have never been able to find it.Bonterra is an excellent gluten-free wine both red and white.These wines are not expensive so if your looking for the pricier ones cant help ya. Good luck.

Hi,

I've been gluten-free for about a year and would like to try drinking some white wine. I'm not sure whether there are some additives I should know about. Is all wine gluten-free? Can you suggest some gluten-free brands?

Thank you,

Jen

If you look at the labelling forum, you will find a discussion of this. There are two ways allergens can get into wine. There are fining agents that take sediment out. This can be a form of clay, egg, casein, or some part of a fish. This is why some wines are considered vegan and some aren't. Some say they have reacted to fining agents before. I haven't noticed anything myself ... but then, any reaction I might have been blaming on something else :huh:

I haven't heard of grain as a fining system or anything special about port, or white wine versus red wine. I'm not an expert, though. I just read one article.

The way I've read that gluten MIGHT get into wine is if it is kept in barrels using a wheat-based glue. I haven't seen anyone say they reacted to this, though.

The FDA has a proposal out now to require labeling of such allergens. The vintners are opposing it. They say no one has been proven to react to these things or even if the stuff exists in the final product.

I would drink it. I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t be gluten-free?

I am pretty sure Gallo uses stainless steel to contain their white wine like most wineries.   It is cheaper for sure.  Might be different for specialty boutique wineries, but even then, I have never been glutened by wine.  

It is safe to drink wine!  It is gluten free.  ?. If you do react, you might have an intolerance to alcohol (hard to digest when your gut is damaged), have yeast/fermentation issues, tannin issues, etc.  But you will not get a gluten exposure.

      Ski trip with Celiac son - preparation advice please

      Hi all, Two weeks ago we learned our 7 your old has Celiacs and we are of course finding our way in his diet. However, we booked a skitrip a few months ago that will take place in February. We're going to the same hotel we went last year. The trip is non refundable so now I'm already starting to think how we will do this. I've contacted...

      Thank you for the article Scott. It was very informative. I didn’t realize I should have been eating a certain amount of gluten prior to the test. I only eat bread maybe 1x a week, don’t eat cereal. Pasta occasionally. I’m sure there is gluten in nearly everything, so I’ve had gluten but no idea how much, but definitely not slices of bread.

      It sounds like you're navigating a lot right now, and it’s good that you’re being proactive about your health given your family history and symptoms. Based on the results you shared, the elevated IgA Gliadin and IgG Gliadin antibody levels could indicate an immune response to gluten, which may suggest celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. However, your tis...

      Ski trip with Celiac son - preparation advice please

      By Kathleen JJ · Posted

      Hi all,  Two weeks ago we learned our 7 your old has Celiacs and we are of course finding our way in his diet. However, we booked a skitrip a few months ago that will take place in February. We're going to the same hotel we went last year. The trip is non refundable so now I'm already starting to think how we will do this.   I've contacted the organization who was really really understanding and supportive. They've worked with this hotel for many years and the hotel (and restaurant of course) is prepared to do what they can. Storing and heating/preparing food that we bring is not a problem for them (which is already a huge relief) nor is providing fruits and vegetables (cucumber fi) to put in a lunch box as he will not be able to eat in the restaurants on the slopes. I checked, the ski area has 3 restaurants that offer gluten free options, but he is only 7 and with 7 year old's there's always the additional hurdle of 'yuk, I don't like the sight/taste/smell of it or I don't know it so I won't eat it' factor the consider 🙄. So we'll pack a lunch for him to take. [side question: if there should be an accidental intake and he gets a reaction, how strongly do we have to expect this: will he poo his pants? Will he be able to hold till he gets to the toilet at the end of the slope? Will he be able to still stand or will the pain make him having to lie down? We had the diagnosis rather by accident so have no experience with 'normal' symptoms or how violent they are and we would like to inform the ski instructors]   He loves oatmeal and we will bring gluten-free oatmeal for breakfast so that will be covered too, but for diners I'm already worried.    So my question is: Do you have tips for childproof gluten-free meals that could be easily heated or prepared in the hotel without risk of contamination?   Thank you for your reactions... Kathleen

To me it seems logical that with no gluten coming in, eventually your skin would run out of gluten for the iodine to attack.  One of iodines functions is to break down defective cells to make room for new cells.

Unless your doctor has an answer to your health issues, once you've pursued a diagnosis to your satisfaction I would suggest a trial period of gluten free.  In the meatime,  Mayo Clinic research indicates a first degree relative of a diagnosed Celiac is 42% likely to also be Celiac. Dermatitis herpetiformis causes itchy bumps and burning blisters as a result of a gluten sensitivity that makes your immune system overreact.  Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?

      It sounds like you're navigating a lot right now, and it’s good that you’re being proactive about your health given your family history and symptoms. Based on the results you shared, the elevated IgA Gliadin and IgG Gliadin antibody levels could indicate an immune response to gluten, which may suggest celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. However, your tissue transglutaminase IgG (tTG-IgG) result is within the normal range, and your total IgA level is sufficient, meaning the test was likely accurate. While these results might point towards celiac disease, the diagnosis often requires further interpretation by your doctor, especially in light of your symptoms and family history. Your doctor may recommend an endoscopy with a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis, as blood tests alone are not always definitive. In the meantime, you might want to avoid making dietary changes until you discuss the results with your healthcare provider, as going gluten-free before further testing can interfere with an accurate diagnosis. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. This section covers your two positive results: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide)
