Mostly I go to Trader Joe's for wine. I don't buy or drink wine very often. Maybe one or two bottles a year.

Thanks for asking.
Most humans who drink alcohol are unaware of about 30 ingredients that can be added without being listed
on any label. Manufacturers can manipulate the flavor of a very cheap wine, to taste very similar to a $40 bottle.
Manufacturers can legally use egg whites, milk, gelatin, sugar, isinglass (fish bladders) among other ingredients. I
personally believe they should list all ingredients on wine bottles so customers know what they are drinking
and paying for. Many customers do not care, but many also do care. I also wonder if wine growers may use some
animal-derived ingredients on their grapes. ( unrelated, but for instance, non-organic bananas can be sprayed with
shellfish residues).
I do not drink alcohol anymore, but there must be a vegan website with details of which are vegan. You can
also call some wine makers and ask specific questions.

They have been gene engineered to be too sweet, however, organic banana's are not sprayed with shellfish.
