Wine News
by tammy on August 3, 2006
Luckily, I don't have any food allergies. Those who do have to really be careful, though, because a lot of food related items - including wine - can have exposure to foods you wouldn't expect such as eggs and fish.
To help people with these food related allergies, there is a movement in the wine industry to encourage labeling policies to change so that a warning is added to the label if it has any exposure to potential allergens.
Here's more on this issue from the Monterey Herald:
For the first time, officials are permitting wineries to voluntarily declare the presence of potential allergens such as milk or eggs. Intriguingly, an industry often leery of new labeling schemes is accepting the new voluntary standards.
''Not all wines have these ingredients,'' said Gladys Horiuchi, spokeswoman for the San Francisco-based Wine Institute.
''It's not something all wineries do, so it can be done on a voluntary basis.''
Mandatory labels, on the other hand, can be harder for wineries to swallow, depending on what's required.
Herein lies the latest, hybrid regulatory harvest from the federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.
The Treasury Department agency has spelled out one voluntary and one mandatory approach to allergen labeling.
The voluntary labeling can begin immediately.

Rimonabant (also known as Zimulti, Acomplia, Slimona or Obitone) is an anorectic anti obesity drug. It is a CB1 cannabinoid receptor antagonist. Rimonabant has been found to stop food craving enough to help people lose weight, and could also help curb other unhealthy urges, such as smoking. www.genericacomplia.us

Wow, eggs in wine? Who knew?!
I am allergic to eggs. Thank you for the information.
The casual wine drinker would not know that eggs and fish are used in the production process of wine. It makes you wonder if some of the sickness and hangovers that have been attributed to sulfites is actually caused by sulfites and not a hidden allergen. For me a slight allergy reaction mirrors a hangover exactly. I always thought that was odd....but I guess eating something that I am allergic to is poison to my body just as drinking in excess is poison to my body. It makes sense that the body has the same reaction to both.
I can see that they are definitely going to have to start labeling wine with allergens. I cannot believe that the wine industry has not stepped up to the plate and started doing this without a government suggestion first.
Doggone it! Eggs show up in the most unusual places. I swear that they are the most versatile product on the earth.
Thanks for the information,
Anita
