About Us
Absolute Organic Wine Limited:
Your Partner for Premium Organic & Vegan Wines in the UK and Ireland
Our Commitment to Vegan Wines
Many wine lovers are surprised to learn that traditional winemaking often uses animal-derived products in the clarification process. Conventional wines are typically filtered using fining agents like isinglass (fish bladders), gelatin (animal bones), albumin (egg whites), or casein (milk protein).
At Absolute Organic Wine, we believe great wine shouldn't compromise ethical values. All our wines are certified vegan, using only plant-based alternatives like bentonite clay, activated charcoal, and plant proteins in our clarification process.
As the leading provider of organic and vegan wines in the UK and Northern Ireland, we carefully select producers who share our commitment to sustainable, cruelty-free winemaking. Our transparent approach ensures you can enjoy exceptional wines that align perfectly with your values—no sacrifice in quality, no ethical compromise.
When you choose Absolute Organic Wine, you're making an informed choice that's better for animals, better for the planet, and often better for your health.
