<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Here are the answers to my email about is Franzia Merlot GF. Thanks to everyone for their responses. Linda in Pa. --No, none of the Franzia wine is gf --I am celiac, and also I make my own wine....only because I happen to have lots of blackberries and am allergic to the sulphites in purchased wine as is mandated by the FDA. I know of nothing in any wine that would hurt someone with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. --It is GF. In the 11 years I have been on the net, co-running the Delphi celiac forum and checking in all the gf sites, I never encountered any wine with gluten. --Almost all wine is gluten-free. (I believe Carlo Rossi is, but you might want to check with the manufacturer). Franzia states on their website they are gf as they do not add gluten-containing ingredients, but I and others I know who are gf have ALWAYS reacted when drinking it...some of the "cheapies" add glutinous preservatives. I personally stopped drinking it after many reactions, but would love to hear what others say. Some European wines use a flour paste when sealing their barrels, but that is not too common...i'm pretty much a wino:) and have never had a problem with anything but Franzia. --I love Dry red Merlot wine, but I have never heard of a wine that isn't g/f as it is made from grapes. In case you are interested all of Smirnoff's list of 32 drinks made from vodkas, gins,rums etc etc. --I have no idea about gluten but all wine nowadays has sulfites added. Sulfites give me identical symptoms to being glutenized. Sulfites are a listed allergen in Europe and the UK but not here in the US. --All wine is gluten free except maybe those Arbor Mist ones where they add flavors. *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the CELIAC List* ******* To unsubscribe, email: mailto:[log in to unmask] *******
