I am not an expert in the finer points of Kashrut (or being vegan) but I should caution that some wines with Kosher certification may allow for egg products in the fining process as egg from Kosher animals is considered Pareve (neutral, not meat or dairy so can be eaten with either). This kind of information could easily be found by strict vegans by asking the kosher certification authority on the product as they would easily be able to answer if any animal products/byproducts were used.
