More research on booze:
   
  It seems in the production of wine, the last process is called fining.  Fining reduces the particles in the wine.  A binder of various ingredients is used.  Woodbridge uses a caseinate.  Frey uses bentonite (a clay).   Some may use some ingredient that contain gluten.  
   
  I have contacted some companies about their production.  I have not found one that contains gluten yet, however
   
  Wine-Frey (sulfite-free), Yellowtail, and George Du Booeuf are GFCF.
   
  Wine-Woodbridge is GF, not CFEggF
   
  Gin-Tanqueray is not GF
   
  Below are responses from the WJDeutsch (distributor for Yellowtail, George DuBoef and some others) and Tanqueray.
   
  I wrote to Jose Cuervo, too.  I don't want the party to stop with my strict GFCF diet!!

  Dear Lorraine,
   
  No, we do not use casein either in fining our wines.

  Liza-
   
  Thanks for your quick response.  How about casein?  Are any products containing casein used in the production?   I heard some casein products are used in fining.
