Is it true that fish is used in the process of making wine!!!?

i know it sounds strange,this is why i had to get online to findout if its true!but someone told me today that vegans shouldnt drink wine because there are fish products involved in the process of making wine!


is this true?and if so what and why??Is it true that fish is used in the process of making wine!!!?
While it can be, it's most likely not.


Isinglass is a product that's made from sturgeon swim bladders (not their intestines) that is used as a clarifying agent. It's used to make the final product crystal clear. It's more commonly used in beer brewing than in wine making...in fact, it's quite rare in wine making. In wine making, it's more common to let time settle all the solids out of the wine to leave it crystal clear. If there are fining agents used, it's typically bentonite (a form of clay), not isinglass.





Even if isinglass is used, as mentioned before, it settles out of the finished product, so there is no animal products in the final beer or wine. However, if there's any issue with animal products being used in ANY portion of the brewing process, then it would be worth the few minutes it takes to call the brewery or winery and ask them if they use isinglass as a fining agent. If the answer is ';no'; then you can have your wine (or beer) with a perfectly clear conscience.





Another fining agent is ';Irish moss'; which is a kelp (plant) based gelatine-type product. You're fine if they tell you they use bentonite or Irish moss.Is it true that fish is used in the process of making wine!!!?
Where's my halibut!?!





Just kidding... Gosh, I hope not! I think you heard that from a Vegan Nazi.





There are grapes in wine. And water is used to make grapes. Fish could and probably did swim in that water. But that's the leap that a Vegan Nazi would make in saying that fish were involved in the wine making process.





Vegan or not, go ahead and have a glass of wine.
I never heard that one.


However Guinness Stout is filtered through fish intestines.





here's the article about the Guiness process.





Guinness stout is made from water, barley malt, barley, hops, brewer's yeast and is treated with finings made from fishes' air bladders, although Guinness has claimed that this finings material is unlikely to remain in the finished product.[8][9] A portion of the barley is flaked (i.e. steamed and rolled) and roasted to give Guinness its dark colour and characteristic taste. It is pasteurised and filtered.
