Depends on the severity. To a layman, they egg doesn't stay in the wine, but you never know with someone who has severe issues

I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW TODAY.

Might turn off my brain for the rest of the day unless you can tell me how it was used

Probably don't mess with the finished product. This is more valuable when there is a lot more for it to bind to in the barrel.

Other fining agent exist and they could have used one of those.

With one glass, it could be a cool experiment tho

How did you find wines to drink?

I know most wines don't have gluten in them, but it sounds like you can't take a risk

Eggs can Make Wine Great Again

Seriously. Egg whites are used in red wine as a natural clarifying agent to soften tannins, reduce astringency, and improve mouthfeel.

You pour the egg whites in, stir, and wait.🧵

A protein called albumin binds to sediment, settles out, and leaves a clearer, smoother, egg-free wine.

How do you know if a wine was clarified this way? You won’t, unless you meet the winemaker and ask.

Ingredient labels are not required, and it would probably kill sales if a winemaker went around telling everyone he uses eggs.

On the flip side, you also can’t tell if a wine didn’t use this process. A wine labeled vegan won’t have been clarified with eggs, but many self-respecting winemakers, like me, can’t bring themselves to label their wines ā€˜VEGAN’ even if they are.

Because of the implication.
