Our Vegan Wines For Your Veganuary

Searching for wines for Veganuary? 

Never heard of Veganuary? Well, neither had I until last week. It’s pronounced (vee-GAN-uary) and as you can probably guess, it’s a New Year’s resolution to eat only plant-based foods for the month of January. Why did you decide to go vegan?

Giving a vegan lifestyle a try for a month can demonstrate some true health benefits, and low alcohol wine in moderation can also be an integral part of your pledge.

Studies have shown that having a diet without animal products can apparently help the environment. Studies on climate change, states that adopting a vegan diet can cut your personal greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by just 50%.

Whatever your reason for adopting a vegan diet we’ve got your Low Alcohol Vegan Wines for Veganuary covered.

I bet you’re thinking, what is vegan wine?

As per our article – Where can I find vegan wine? 

‘Wines that are suitable for vegans’ is in a basic term, alcohol (in this case wine) that is free from any interaction with animals.

The fact is that many winemakers use animal products in wine production. Eggs, milk, fish bladders (otherwise known as fining agents) and sometimes even gelatin are used in the process of alcohol production.

There is no requirement for nutritional labels on the back of wine, or any alcohol product, sometimes making it hard to know how the wine is processed and what ingredients may have been used in production. This makes it a lot harder to find vegan wine.

What is Veganuary? 

Veganuary is a concept started here in the UK by husband and wife duo Jane Land and Matthew Glover. What started as an idea in 2014 has grown every year. According to the Veganuary charity,

To date, over 250,000 people from 193 countries have taken our month-long pledge to try veganism. By the end of January 2019, we are expecting a further 300,000 people to have joined us in their journeys towards adopting a plant-based diet. Veganuary 2018 was the biggest year yet with 168,500 registered participants from 165 countries.

Pull The Cork Choice: Our 6 Natural Wines for Veganuary

We should mention that these great wines are all low alcohol wines. So, let’s explore. 

#1 47 Anno Domini Prosecco DOC NV

One of our most popular wines of 2018 the 47 AD Prosecco is a corker!!

• Youthful straw- yellow colour, with flecks of green. Rich in mouth-feel with vibrant, persistent bubbles, and fresh orchard fruit aromas.

Great balanced acidity, and crisp citrus and delicate floral characters to finish. We sampled this wine when camping, and it really broke down the strong flavours – it’s a great all-rounder!

#2 De Stefani Prosecco DS Brut Millesimato 2017

I just love this bottle – it’s stylish, seriously delicious, and well priced!  This stunning sparkling wine has a delicate, floral nose which is a touch tropical.

• Typical gentle pear, guava, lychee, subtle fruit. Bright, high acidity and clean minerality. Finishes with pear and touch of aniseed, persistent but soft bubbles.

#3 Domaine Le Roc Ambulle Negrette Pet Nat 2017

A new wine to the Pull The Cork portfolio, and definitely a wine to shout about!! The Ribes Family (winemakers of Roc Ambulle) have serious respect for nature, which follows nicely in-line with the vegan situation.

• The Ambulle Negrette Pet Nat has a nice mousse and oozes sweet cherries, raspberries and pear drops.

This pet nat wine is dark pink and discernibly sweet. Tip: Learn more about Pet Nat. 

#4 Lectores Vini Pomagrana 2017

One of my personal favourites of 2018 is the Pomagrana! The farming used at the vineyard is guided by organic principles without the use of pesticides, fungicides, or herbicides. 

• The Lectores Vini Pomagrana is a fresh and mineral wine. Aromas of tart raspberry, cranberry, and pomegranate fruit… almost a deep rosé.

#5 PolOpuesto Qué Grande sos! Vino Criollo 2016

This is a chameleon wine because it can drink like a white, a red or rosé, and so is quite versatile for food pairing. In fact, also perfect for wine pairings with comfort food. 

This is also a great wine to drink without food, with a water-like drinkability, it goes down easy and doesn’t bring you down with it. And finally, as all wines on our list, it is a low alcohol wine, which is another reason why it can be a great choice for pant based diets.
