Hi i am a new member as well. Thought I would share with you what I've read about spirits. Vodka is started with grain mash,,so is not safe. Potato vodka is okay and a brand called belvedere, I have tried. Rye,whisky ,,all grains and wheats. Rum is from cane sugar and is okay,,as is tequila,most wines if not fortified are good as well,and i hear vermouthand cognac and sake is also okay.

The distillation process is said to remove the gluten protein from the product. A bourbon derived from grains can still be consumed by Celiacs if it is distilled. Now, with that said, there are some people here on the forum who will react.

Here is another good source for this info from the celiac sprue association. I am one of those celiacs who react to gluten grains even if not distilled. The only way to know for sure if you will is to try them when you are feeling good and not consuming anything else that is risky.

And to keep in mind, there are alcohols that never start from wheat/barley/malt, and are safe from the beginning.
