Vegetarian finings suggestions

[Jxb13]

I’m not a vegetarian but I’m allergic to certain shellfish, and I find when I drink bought wine I get an itchy rash around my jawline and behind my ears, so it has to be the finings?

PVPP is like a finely ground plastic used for clearing wines.

Just cold crash it if you are worried about using finings of any type it will just take a little time longer to clear but time is your friend

Cold crash + time where possible as the baron says.

"Time + Gravity = Clear" is a well known formula. The process is also helped by chilling whatever it is you wish to clear.

+1 on cold crash works for me

Good advice, never thought of that, perhaps I'm just too impatient to get it bottled.

Heya you could try bentonite clay

Also this article might be useful but I don't know how reliable it is, I would do further research if you are severely allergic...

Bentonite works well. I’ve recently switched to it.
Wine.... and fish bits.... it’s just wierd innit?
Clay makes more sense somehow.

kwik clear doesn't have fish or shellfish in it. Has gelatine but I find that if you lie about that you're fine.

And if you get itchy and rashy from wine it could just be that you're allergic to wine. It is a thing.

it could just be that you're allergic to wine.

WHY in the name of CHRIST would you say something so unbelievably horrifying?!??!??!
