Bust Out the Bubbly, But Make Sure It’s Vegan
Champagne is the traditional alcoholic beverage to serve on New Year’s Eve, and if you’re planning to imbibe, you may be surprised to learn that not all Champagne is vegan. Some Champagne is processed with fining agents, which can include products such as casein (milk protein), gelatin, and egg white.
Here is a list of five bottles of Champagne that are vegan:
1. Organic Champagne Fleury
2. Domaine Ste. Michelle
3. Korbel
4. Veuve Clicquot (Thank God this one is free of nasty stuff! I can’t remember the last time I had a glass of champagne... it must have been years… but I remember loving this one.)
5. Piper Heidsieck
For an extensive list of vegan spirits, beer, and wine, check out Barnivore.com.

I never even considered that alcohol may not be vegan! Thank you so much for opening my eyes to this, I am going to do some research and make sure only super-vegan wines make it to my kitchen from now on. -

I had no idea that champagne might not be vegan - this is a bit of a shock! Thank you for making me aware :)

I didn't even know there was Vegan Champagne, Alicia, amazing! Have a great New Year's Eve, Kind Life people, and of course, the lovely Alicia Silverstone! x. -
Thank you for the list. It was very helpful especially since my friends wanted me to bring champagne. I didn't know what brand to buy- I do now! Thanks! -

Sooooo very happy to see that Veuve is on this list, it's my favorite!
Nice to know the other "kind" selections, too. -
Also talking about cruelty-free bubbly, spirits, and wine on Cruelty-Free Faves to get ready for the New Year celebration. Re-posted this morning: http://bit.ly/RqfhrL -
Another good vegan champagne recommendation is GH MUMM. It's label is gold and red, very swanky folks. Also, it's a great little less expensive alternative to something like a Chandon, top tier stuff that- Alicia, good taste! -
This is good to know. We usually drink sparkling cider or grape juice. This year we are trying sparkling pear juice!
