It depends - some wines are vegan and some are not. Also, it depends on other health issues and why you are on the kickstart - weight loss, diabetes management, conscience, etc. For instance, alcohol can increase triglyceride levels so if that's an issue, wine might not be the best choice. --Deb R

If you feel you do want to have wine (or other alcohol), check out www.barnivore.com for a list of vegan wines, beers and liquors.

Different processes use different things to get the characteristic flavors and such. Just like sugar - it's made from sugar cane or beets, they're plants thus it should be vegan yet the way it is processed often includes bone char (burned and ground animal bones). So, not vegan. --Deb R
