Is Wine Gluten Free?

Green grapes in vineyard

Yes — wine is naturally gluten free. Wine is made from fermented grapes, and grapes contain no gluten. The fermentation process introduces no gluten. In the vast majority of cases, wine contains well below the EU legal limit of 20 parts per million of gluten, and is safe for people with coeliac disease and non-coeliac gluten sensitivity.

What can introduce gluten into wine?

Fining agents. Some producers now use wheat- or barley-based fining agents. Studies consistently find that even in wines fined with gluten-containing agents, the residual gluten in the finished wine is well below 20 ppm.

Barrel sealing. Some wine is aged in oak barrels sealed with a wheat paste. Gluten-Free Watchdog testing found wines from such barrels contained around 5 ppm of gluten — well below the legal limit.
