I wish I knew, too- I love Wolf Blass... Most wines are considered "safe" although there is much controversy re: sealing oak barrels with flour paste. I'm sticking to unoaked wines just now although I LOVE oaked! I am a "super sensitive"- what bothers me may not bother you.

Good luck and !Salud!,

I contacted the company and here is what they wrote back: 06/03/09

Thank you for taking the time to contact us at Wolf Blass.

Additives that contain gluten cannot be added to still wine and dessert wine and, therefore, can be consumed safely in moderation. Australian-made sparkling wine does not contain any additives that contain gluten, but imported sparkling wine and Champagne may contain spirit derived from wheat grain.

Fortified wines and sherry, are permitted to add caramel during production. Caramel, which is additive number 150, may originate from wheat starch and hence may contain residual gluten. This cannot be known with any certainty as the identity and purity specifications referred to in the Australian Food Standards Code do not regulate the base grain from which the caramel is derived, and wine makers may source caramel from different suppliers during vintage and between vintages. Therefore, you should avoid consuming any fortified wines and sherries that include caramel among their list of ingredients on the back of the bottle label.

The French Wine Barrels that we frequently use are sealed with a flour/ water paste. However, the amount of gluten contributed to the wine from the paste would be very minimal and below the limit of analytical detection.

We strongly recommend you contact your General Practitioner to discuss this information further. Alternatively, the Coeliac Society of Australia can be contacted on www.coeliac.org.au.

Please contact us again should you have any further queries we can assist you with.

Kind Regards,

Wolf Blass Consumer Relations

      Gluten Free Coffee

      By trents · Posted

      @Peace lily, can you be more specific about which coffee manufacturers have told you that their coffee is probably not safe for celiacs? What you say is contrary to just about everything I find when I research this issue on the internet, even taking into account cross contamination. The exception seems to be when flavorings are added that may contain grain products made from wheat, barley or rye. This individual tested numerous coffees with a Nima gluten sensor and found no issues: https://www.goodforyouglutenfree.com/is-coffee-gluten-free/. There may also be an issue with cross reactivity for some celiacs:  https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/is-coffee-safe-on-a-gluten-free-diet/ . Keep in mind that when you ask questions of food companies concerning whether or not a product is gluten free or "safe for celiacs" you may be getting an ultra-cautious response due to the fact that they are careful to cover their backsides when the product hasn't been specifically tested for gluten content or is not being marketed as such.

      Mallorca Guide

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      You already got some great recommendations. Just want to second that Mallorca (and Spain in general) is one of the best and easiest places for celiacs to travel. I have been to Mallorca multiple times and have never experienced any cross contaminations and there are SO many easy to buy options in regular supermarkets. Hope you have a wonderful trip.
