2013 Vegan Vine Cabernet Sauvignon, Central Coast
I have seen clos lachance wines at grocery outlet for about the last six months at about $4-5 a bottle. I have also seen this wine for sale today at the wine of the month club for around this same price for members.
Since I know the clos lachance wines are generally pretty good at least at these close out prices I would gather this isn’t a bad buy. Although since I’m not vegan and could really care less about the whole concept I’m not sure I really want a bottle with the word vegan so prominitely displayed on it. I would guess that is why it’s being offered here today because it did not sell well because the only people that would be interested in it are vegans which are a small subset of the population. Wine drinking vegans is a subset of vegans even.
So you don’t use egg whites as a fining agent…?
No fish bladders? Forget it!
Sorry, I prefer beef and chicken wines. On special occasions, lamb wine.
Funny… I’m more concerned about whether it’s a good bottle of wine than what “crazy” words are on the label.
In an ocean of red wine at this price point, putting vegan on the bottle makes me less likely to buy it. That was my point.
Gotta agree with cortot. It makes me less likely to buy it since I’m worried that the wineries first concern is a viewpoint on a lifestyle then a concern over flavor. That their concerns will necessarily change their flavor profile.
I’m not saying this is true, just that the prominence of the label makes me less likely to buy it.
I won’t buy biodynamic wines either FWIW.
You had me at biodynamic! Bio is not a lifestyle but a way to care for the soil that enriches the vines and grapes (depending on who you ask). Not trying to be controversial but just thought I’d point out the difference.
Bentonite is a fine fining agent. So is running the wine through successive filters, ending with a very tight filtration, the wine will sparkle like a diamond. With time most solids will fall out of the wine, and many times no fining is needed. Many wineries use these solutions and don’t use animal products for fining, they just don’t make a big deal about it. It’s not like cheese where animal renet is absolutely the best thing to break down the milk. This strikes me as a solution looking for a problem and a marketing ploy more than anything. Just my 2 cents.
Gotta say, I agree with this and the other commentators who are saying “eh, not my first concern” RE veganism. I am not a vegan, and as noted there are plenty of decent reds out there at this price point…

If you have seen this for $4-$5, how is this a good bargain?
[QUOTE=aztext]
Not this same wine but other wines from the same winery. Maybe someone with a wine of the club account can do a price check for us.
Does the vegan wine have sulfites? Thanks
I was just pointing out a buzzword that makes me less likely to buy something. I’m not getting into what biod is, or what I think about it. Just that I won’t buy something labeled bioD.
Not sure how current this list is but bet you would (buy something bioD):
