Raise a glass – veggie-friendly wine

Fish bladders can be used to clarify, or filter, wine so Rob buckhaven has picked three veggie-friendly bottles which are worth sipping

1 Berrylicious Sainsbury’s Grenache Rose (£4.69, Sainsbury’s) has bags of berry energy.

Animal products are added to wine as a clarifier, which removes insoluble bits before bottling, but egg whites or clay can also be used.

2 Plum crumble Tesco Fairtrade Malbec (£4.99, Tesco) is a hotpot of stewed plum and bramble.

Bull’s blood was often used to clarify wine in some Mediterranean countries before it was banned by the EU.

3 Lemon pie Lugana White Wine (£6.98, Asda) is like candied lemon zest.
