I received the following regarding my inquiry about the GF status of Bartles & 
Jaymes wine coolers:

To:  <[log in to unmask]>  
Subject:  Case# 132307

Thank you for contacting us. We appreciate your interest in our winery.

In response to your inquiry, all of the wines and champagnes produced by E. & 
J. Gallo Winery, Modesto, California are completely free of gluten or any 
gluten by-products.

Under our Bartles & Jaymes product line we produce two kinds of coolers; a 
wine-base and a malt-base as indicated by the label. The wine cooler is gluten 
free. Under the Boone's and Boone's Farm line we produce both wine-base and 
malt-base products. The wine base is gluten-free. In addition, our winemakers 
advise that our cider beverages under the "Hornsby's" label do contain gluten. 
Also, our winemakers advise that the brandy made by E&J Distillers, including 
Cask & Cream, may contain trace amounts of gluten.

We appreciate your giving us this opportunity to answer your questions. We 
hope this information is helpful.
