I really hate to tell you but the alcoholic beverage makers need not disclose
ANY ingredients in their products.  Mary Alice tried drinking only Corbel
brandy.  Once in a while, she had a reaction.  We found out from the vintner
that this was possible due to their techniques for preparing their brandy.
Some batchs were GF, some may not be.  Drinking any alcoholic beverage you
did not prepare yourself is a crap shoot wrt gluten.  Remember, the only
thing that is controlled by the government is the alcohol content; not where
it comes from or how its made:-(
