Vegan wine in CW
I’ve notice recently that the menu in CW states whether each wine is suitable for Vegans. This has varied in my experience from three of the four being suitable down to just one white being suitable.
I'm travelling with a partner later this month on a LHR-MIA flight and was hoping someone could post a picture of the CW wine list, or confirm how many of the four wines are suitable for Vegans. This is based on my assumption that the LHR to USA wine list is the same for the entire month of January. Thanks in advance. |
Genuine question - what would make “normal” wine unsuitable for vegans? It’s just fermented grape juice isn’t it? |
I’m not doing the “how can you tell if someone’s a vegan” joke |

Some of these agents are animal based (thus rendering the drink non-vegetarian) while others are based on milk proteins, or egg albumen (thus rendering the drink non-vegan) That's my limited understanding anyway |

The two whites and one red are suitable for vegans. |

Interesting - thanks! |
Attached wine list from CW SCL-LHR from yesterday. Although the choice of vegan wine was excellent, a word of warning on the vegan catering - on 2 of 4 sectors, the VGML options came with either cream cheese or butter.. |

This happens in many places so it doesn’t surprise me that BA do this too. The only way to ensure a pure vegan meal is to go to a place that only serves vegan products. Sadly people tend not to know what vegan actually means with diary, honey and even fish being offered regularly. |
Almost everything is suitable for vegans, in the sense that it will do no more harm to them than to everyone else.
More appropriate wording on menus and elsewhere would be "Compatible with the constraints of a vegan diet". |

Is it impossible to be vegan because you have a severe lactose intolerance but also have an ethical stance? Of course not, therefore your point is way off the mark. |

The rise and rise of veganity as a social construct is a different, yet also interesting question; so much publicity for so small a minority (<5% of people). I note that the wines are not stated to be vegetarian or not (i.e., egg is OK, fish/animal products are not). |
