I am a big wine drinker and i keep hearing that some wines are distilled in such a way that they contain gluten. I was wondering if anyone knew of which wines to steet clear of or "comments" on labels that i should watch out for like the way they are distilled?

thanks

All wines are gluten free, regardless of the distillation process. Wine is derived from grapes.

I have always been told wine was gluten free. However, there was a programme today on UK TV that said some aren't. A note was posted on a coeliac forum regarding this and apparently some wine producers( mainly small ones) put their wine in wooden barrels that are sealed using paste made from wheat flour. It is seemingly one of the traditional methods used in the process.

I love my wine so hope this only applies to a very few wines.

I, too, am a wine lover and I've read these things as well about the flour used in oak barrels. I DO think that I sometimes get mysteriously glutened and the only culprit might be a new wine. Michael and I try now to stick with unoaked wines (some will say on bottle, some you need to research) For instance, I have no trouble with 4 Vines (unoaked), Mirassou, Kendall Jackson... There are others I can't think of right now. We are trying some of the New Zealand wines that are unoaked like Kim Crawford. On the flip side, I also think there have been oaked wines that have not been an issue. It's frustrating. It does seem to make sense that if a barrel is sealed with flour that that may seep into the wine. I wish I had a more definitive answer for you. Again, more research needed!

Salud!

So far, I've done well with wines. I don't do red, but that is because it gives me headaches. I am going to do some research on the unoaked wines.

Just wondering if anyone has tried the organic wines.

I think I was glutened by wine last Thursday at Bunco. On Friday I felt like I was flattened by a truck. (And, no, it wasn't from enjoying my "grapes" a little too much. B)

I couldn't think of anything else it could be. So I got online and did a little research. I also read about French oak barrels being sealed with a flour paste. Sure enough, the wine I enjoyed (tremendously) was aged in French oak barrels for 2 years. Hmmmmm.

I, for one, would really like to know the answer to this one. I live an hour from Napa Valley. Might as well shoot me now, just get it over with, if I can't have my wine! Ha! :P

This is all quite interesting and depressing at the same time. I can't drink red wine as I also get a really bad headache and go all red and blotchy - my tongue and lips go purple - wonderful sight at a dinner party ! However, I have noticed over the last year or so that the whites I drink seem to affect me more quickly than before - now it could be the strength, could be I'm getting older (as my husband tactfully mentioned when discussing this last week), could be I'm absorbing it more post diagnosis, maybe I'm drinking more than I think ( oh dear one more thing to worry about) - or it could be something else like the paste used in the barrels.

It's also too bad because i happen to love oaked wines. This issue really needs some clear answers from the industry. I am almost 100% certain that I have been glutened by wine before. Of course, I continue to drink my trusted ones and occasionally attempt new ones but i wsh it wasn't so hit or miss. I appreciate Lisa's link (thanks, Lisa!) but I'm still curious about this.

Yes, I used to think all wines are gluten-free, but I don't believe that's the case any longer. However, I did write to Barefoot Cellars because I really like those wines (cheap, but good) even though I've never had a problem, and this is what I received back:

Thank you for contacting us. We appreciate your interest in Barefoot Cellars.

In response to your inquiry, all of the wines and champagnes produced by E. & J. Gallo Winery in the United States are in compliance with the Food and Drug Administration

Thanks for that. Funnily I am allergic to aspirin and it contains salicylates.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
