Do you know about isinglass in wine,beer etc?
I’ve been veg for years but recently discovered about isinglass from fish bladder in wine and beer.Does anyone know if all wines have this and if other liquors do too?
Although very little isinglass remains in the beer which is drunk, many vegetarians consider beers (such as Guinness) which are processed with these finings to be unsuitable for vegetarian diets (although it is suitable for pescetarians). An alternative to isinglass which is suitable for vegetarians is Irish moss, a type of red alga. The process differs, however: isinglass is added at the end of the brewing process, before bottling, whereas Irish moss is added to the hot wort while it is being boiled, and primarily reduces hazes caused by proteins. Since the two fining agents act differently, some beers will make use of both.
Isinglass finings are also used in the production of kosher wines, although for reasons of Kashrut they are not derived from the sturgeon, as this fish is considered not Kosher.
It is not really used a lot today….it was primarily used prior to the inexpensive production of gelatin, and now they even plant gelatins…
