CCL Certificación ofrece en España una certificación de alimentos para consumidores veganos

La inmensa mayoría de vinos NO son aptos para veganos, además el término “vegano” no está regulado por la legislación actual así que el consumidor tiene muy difícil saber con garantías si un vino es realmente vegano

Se calcula que en España un 7,8% de la población mayor de 18 años es flexivegetariana, es decir, que come básicamente vegetales y de forma esporádica carne o pescado; un 1,3%, es vegetariana y un 0,2%, vegana.

Ya sea por convicción o por moda, en algunos países en años recientes ha crecido el número de personas que adopta una dieta vegana, que excluye los alimentos de origen animal, como carnes, pescados, lácteos, huevos y miel.

Sin embargo, a la hora de buscar un producto vegano procesado o elaborado, como es el vino, la cosa puede no resultar tan sencilla, debido a que las industrias alimentarias no están obligadas por ley a incluir información nutricional ni especificar los ingredientes de origen animal, en las etiquetas de sus productos.

Es un hecho que el término “vegano” no está regulado por la legislación actual y de momento, el consumidor no tiene forma de saber si el producto es realmente vegano.

Los consumidores quieren saber la verdadera historia detrás de los vinos que compran, por este motivo, los veganos necesitan una fuente en la que puedan confiar.

En respuesta a esta tendencia vegana, los minoristas y la gran distribución, están buscando más productos con etiquetas de certificación vegana para dar confianza a un mercado que va en alza.

BevVeg es una agencia regulatoria privada con sede en Estados Unidos. La componen abogados especialistas en derecho alimentario, que trabajan en defensa del veganismo.

BevVeg es el ESTÁNDAR DE ORO para la certificación de alimentos y bebidas veganas, tal y como reconocen en Forbes, California Winery Advisor, PETA, CBS, Social Life Magazine y otros reputados medios de prensa internacionales.

El sello de certificación BevVeg permite a los consumidores saber que los productos que buscan son realmente veganos, este distintivo cuenta además con una larga tradición en el sector del vino.

El estricto proceso de certificación revela que no se utilizan ingredientes o subproductos animales en el proceso de fabricación, así como también se controla que el sistema de proveedores de la industria no compromete la integridad vegana, requiriendo pruebas fidedignas a los fabricantes de los ingredientes que componen el producto.

Por este motivo, el logotipo “BevVeg!” envía una clara señal a los consumidores de que los productos son seguros para los veganos. La marca BevVeg es muy popular en EEUU y Latinoamérica y está considerado un “must have” si se quiere acceder a estos mercados.

Este distintivo de calidad, llega ahora a España de la mano de CCL CERTIFICACIÓN que ha llegado a un acuerdo con el prestigioso sello “BevVeg”, totalmente integrado en América, para ofrecer en el sector de vino una certificación para los consumidores veganos con las máximas garantías.

Desde esta agencia de española de certificación afirman para Vinetur que “nuestra intención es proporcionar información fiel a los consumidores veganos, dotando a las empresas alimentarias de una herramienta de verificación que soluciona el problema de transparencia en el etiquetado, fuertemente demandada por el veganismo. Como no puede ser de otra manera también los consumidores de vino demandan una certificación de vino vegano.

Se trata, sin duda, por un lado de un nuevo mecanismo que tienen ahora las bodegas para aumentar sus ventas a través de nuevos tipos de clientes, y por otro de una manera segura que tienen los consumidores de comprar auténtico vino vegano.

Is Vegan Beer Actually A Thing?

Many people enjoy beer, whether it’s during social events, weekend gatherings or even as a nightly enjoyment. What many people do not realize as they take their sips of their favorite beer of choice is that many have used animal products in the process of brewing. While the end result may not appear to have animal products and doesn’t list any on the ingredients, they can be used for several reasons throughout the creation of a beer.

Most vegans are well aware that everything they consume must be researched diligently. That’s because animal products make their way into even the most unsuspecting of places, beer included. So the question becomes, is vegan beer actually a thing? And why use animal products in beer production at all, and are there alternatives? Luckily, the answer is yes, vegan beer does exist and there are many mainstream manufacturers that offer vegan beer. It is absolutely not necessary to use animal products in beer despite a history of some brewers doing so. Fortunately many companies are coming to understand the importance of brewing and crafting beer without the use of animal products.

We’ve created the ultimate information guide to help you understand why beer may not be considered vegan, what ingredients are used and why, as well as a list of some mainstream beers that are vegan. We’ve also included some helpful resources to use while out and about to easily determine whether your beer is cruelty free.

Why wouldn’t beer be vegan?

Unfortunately, as with most food and beverages, it’s wise to be vigilant about what you’re buying and how it’s made. While ingredient lists on crackers are forthcoming with the whey and buttermilk, some products are a lot harder to distinguish as vegan. That’s because they don’t have an ingredient list that includes all the items used to produce a product. Beer brewing, for example, doesn’t always include the usage of animal products. However, many products do use them (even if they say there aren’t traces left in the end product). And there isn’t an easy way to distinguish which are vegan from start to finish and which are not.

Luckily, with the help of a few great online resources as well as companies that have provided information to consumers about what they use, it’s now easier to find out what beers are vegan. The reasons some beers may not be vegan varies, from using cheaper, easier to source animal materials, to just using animal materials because that’s how it used to be done, to some companies genuinely not understanding how or why this would not be desirable and therefore not seeking out animal-free alternatives. Read on to discover exactly what beer makers can use in beer and why they use it.

The Low Down: What Isn’t Vegan and Why it’s Used

This list is to the best of our knowledge, pretty thorough in describing the animal products still in use in beer brewing and why they are used. All of these ingredients either are not necessary, as beers do not need to be clear for consumption, or they have non-animal derived counterparts that can be purchased easily, even with just a google search. While companies may have been using these products for a long time, they are not necessary to produce beer, especially with easy access to alternatives.

---

Isinglass

---

Made from the swim bladders of fish, typically sturgeon, this product is used for fining. Fining involves a lot of factors. But in this case it essentially boils down to adding the isinglass at the end of fermentation to create a clear beer. Isinglass is typically used with other agents to remove the particles and haze to create a crystal clear beer. The particles and haze aren’t necessary to remove. However due to trends over the years in beer production, clear beer is what most consumers desire as it’s what they’re used to.

---

Gelatin

---

Made from boiling animals skin, cartilage, bones, horns, and hooves, this is another product that functions as a fining agent. Gelatin works particularly quickly to help the particulates settle and clear the beer. That’s why brewers who want to expedite the process often like and use this product.

---

Honey

---

Made by bees after gathering nectar from flowers and plants, honey is added to beer for a number of reasons. Honey can replace sugar to increase the alcohol content while also helping to ease bitterness or lighten up a beer. If added at the right time, using the right percentages of honey, it also imparts flavor.

---

Albumen

---

Made from egg whites, this is used in beers to “improve the foam characteristics in beers.”

---

Dairy

---

Made from milk. Beermakers typically use lactose. Lactose doesn’t break down so it adds a sweetness and body to the beer, and is typically found in stouts.

​What Popular/ Mainstream Companies offer Vegan Beer?

The following are some mainstream companies and their vegan offerings. This list is by no means the ultimate list as there are far more options. This is just a select variety of popular beers that most people are familiar with and can find at most distributors and bars. The items on this list are vegan, but only the ones listed. For example, bud light is vegan, but they have some bud light options that aren’t vegan such as the Clemado Chelada. So stick to the original for a vegan option unless you’ve researched it.

​​​The Future of Vegan Beer Becoming More Mainstream

---

With veganism becoming more mainstream, companies are slowly becoming aware that there is a need and demand for more sustainable, cruelty-free, and ethically produced beverages. Companies in every industry have started producing lines of vegan products as well as switching out current products to vegan formulations. The beer industry is no stranger to an increased demand for vegan-friendly products. One well-known company recently switched over to vegan beer due to customer demand. In a New York Times article written in 2015 they shared:

“The company announced on Monday that starting at the end of 2016, its beer will no longer contain trace amounts of fish bladder, an integral part of its filtration process….[in regards to Isinglass use] “However, because of its use, we could not label Guinness as suitable for vegetarians and have been looking for an alternative solution for some time.””

Consumer Power

---

It took a while for the company to completely implement and ensure all the stock was finally vegan. Nonetheless, they did it due to customers writing emails, calling, and persisting in requesting a vegan beer. This goes to show it’s important to not only support companies that are producing vegan beer but to write companies that have a non-vegan beer. This is to let them know change is wanted and why it would be profitable for them. When enough people reach out and demand change, companies can consider the impact it would have. And often times, if it means it’ll result in more profit in the end, they will do it.

It takes dedication on our parts to continue to educate companies about why it’s so important to go cruelty-free. Often, when we speak in terms of numbers of people who are vegan, it helps them understand what an impact this could have on their bottom line. Using an approach to truly implore companies to change is crucial.

BevVeg’s Truly Vegan Seal

---

In the meantime, companies like BevVeg work hard to differentiate truly vegan alcohol and can certify companies as vegan. The best part about BevVeg is that it’s a law firm. This means they are working on bringing more transparency to the beverage industry because they understand the law protects companies from disclosing the use of animal products in their processing. They work hard to ensure the companies they give their seal to are compliant in being truly vegan. BevVeg hope to get their seal more widespread to help spread awareness as well as help fellow vegans easily identify truly vegan products.

BevVeg uses real numbers to help spread awareness of veganism and how it is impacting the world and all its industries. They have a great stats page that has many useful statistics to help educate companies about just how impactful veganism is on the world with information such as how many people identify as vegan, the rise in vegan google searches and even the numbers it’s generating in the food industry.

The beer industry is making progress, but has quite a ways to go until one can easily go out and feel confident knowing any product they buy hasn’t contributed to animal suffering. While we eagerly anticipate that day, we must continue to use our buying power to show companies just how important vegan beer is. Let’s continue to help educate that animals are not for exploitation. Our voices and our dollars will continue to make the greatest impact. That’s why we must remain determined in our cause to end animal suffering. Even if it’s only one beer at a time.

Top 7 Wine Trends In 2019

Wine has been a cultural phenomenon for thousands of years. But it’s not always vegan.

New year, new you, new trends. This year’s predictions bring to mind some new upward trends while others are still enjoying their red carpet début.

New styles make an appearance and underdog wine varieties finally get some time in the spotlight.

Not to mention once again we see that the digital age has to rear its capricious head and change the path that the industry has been on lately.

Trends come and go, and wine is no exception to this rule. If it’s not expensive Bordeaux wine one year then it’s some hipster, fruity wine another year.

So read on to learn about some wine trends to watch out for in 2019.

Packaging No Longer Matters

Or does it?

Move aside bottled wine. Canned and boxed wine is here to stay.

Boxed and canned wine has been on the rise for a while now. What started as a trend has now become a large part of the wine industry.

We’ll put things in perspective for you all: canned wine sales went up a whopping 43% in 2018 since the year before. This is why we’re predicting that those numbers are only going to increase this year in 2019.

Can you guess who the big spenders in this category are? If you guessed Millennials, then you’re definitely on to something.

More to come on Millenial spending habits later on. For now, all you need to know is that we have them as well as Gen X to thank for the rising trend.

And we can’t blame them, there’s plenty to rave about when it comes to non-conventionally packaged wine. After all, there is a reason why they have garnered such a massive following.

For one thing, boxed and canned wine is way easier to transport.

If you’re headed to a barbecue, all you have to do is pull out a wine spritzer and you’re good to go. Long gone are the days of hassling with a bottle opener or cup spillage.

Second, they’re a perfect alternative for those who don’t drink often. When you don’t want to finish an entire bottle but you want a sip of your favorite wine, boxed wine is the perfect solution.

Talk about lasting benefits. This is one bandwagon that we won’t mind hopping onto.

2019’s CBD Trends – CBD Vegan Wine Says Article

Vegan and CBD-infused wine have been named among the top trends that will transform the industry in 2019.

Increased interest in health and wellness is expected to drive the vegan wine industry from niche to mainstream, Bloomberg reports.

Last year, UK-based brand Broadland Wineries launched a vegan range with clear vegan labeling. Italian winery Querciabella is leading the way with organic, biodynamic wine. And across New Zealand’s wine country, vineyards are increasingly forgoing the animal products used in the wine-making process. But, what makes a drink made from fermented grapes not vegan?

Is Wine Vegan?

Making wine involves fining, a process that removes heavy tannins with ingredients derived from fish swim bladders, milk, or eggs. The result is a clearer wine, but it can be replaced with vegan-friendly clay or charcoal. BevVeg, a California-based law firm, works with brands to make this switch.

We’ll let you learn more..  https://www.livekindly.co/vegan-cbd-wine-dubbed-top-trend-prediction-2019/

PRIAM Vineyards in Colchester is now BevVeg-Certified

Recently, the Colchester winery Priam Vineyards was certified as vegan-friendly by the BevVeg! label, which provides certification for vegan beverages, food, and other consumer products.

This might come as a bit of a surprise, but not all wines are created vegan. You would think so, considering that wine is traditionally made from grapes. However, many wine producers actually use animal-derived substances to help filter their wines in the fining process. These animal-derived substances include casein, gelatin, egg albumen, and bone marrow.

However, Ruaan Viljoen, winemaker for Priam Vineyards, avoids using any animal products or substances in the process of making wine, instead opting for vegan materials such as pea protein, mannoprotein, bentonite, or even using cold stabilization techniques.

Priam’s wines are very popular and second to none. In fact, Priam’s wines have earned multiple international awards, including several gold, double gold, and silver medals in the 2019 International Eastern Wine Competition. Its most popular wine is its riesling, which is a perfect blend of sweet and tart.

In Connecticut, Priam Vineyards is the first winery to receive vegan certification and distinction.

However, Ruaan Viljoen, winemaker for Priam Vineyards, avoids using any animal products or substances in the process of making wine, instead opting for vegan materials such as pea protein, mannoprotein, bentonite, or even using cold stabilization techniques.

Priam’s wines are very popular and second to none. In fact, Priam’s wines have earned multiple international awards, including several gold, double gold, and silver medals in the 2019 International Eastern Wine Competition. Its most popular wine is its riesling, which is a perfect blend of sweet and tart.

In Connecticut, Priam Vineyards is the first winery to receive vegan certification and distinction.

Priam Vineyards: Vegan-certified wine plus a lineup of summer fun

In 2010, Priam Vineyards installed solar panels on its 40-acre farm, becoming what’s believed to be the first solar-powered winery in New England.

More recently, the Colchester winery celebrated another first: It has been certified as vegan-friendly by the BevVeg! label for vegan beverages, food and consumer products.

Many wine producers use animal-derived substances to help filter their wines in the clarifying, or “fining” process, like casein, egg albumen, gelatin and bone marrow. Priam’s winemaker Ruaan Viljoen avoids any animal products for his process, instead choosing materials like pea or potato protein, bentonite, mannoprotein or using cold stabilization techniques. The winery is the first and so far only in Connecticut to receive this distinction, Viljoen said.

Gloria Priam and her former husband/business partner founded the winery in 1998, opening in 2003 for retail sales and welcoming visitors to its tasting room and picturesque grounds. In addition to the winery offerings, Priam and co-owner Jim Melillo now oversee a booming event business, as the vineyard has become a popular venue for weddings and corporate and private parties.

FEATURED AND NOTEWORTHY WINES: Priam’s wines have earned multiple international awards, including a slew of recent double gold, gold and silver medals from the 2019 International Eastern Wine Competition. The riesling is one of its top wines, an off-dry version with pear and citrus on the palate and a finish with “creamy pineapple and light crisp grapefruit.” Food pairing suggestions include seafood and sweet and spicy dishes.

The Westchester Red, a semisweet red blend of St. Croix, merlot and cabernet sauvignon, is enjoyed year-round, served chilled in summertime and as the base of mulled wine in the tasting room in the winter.

The wine was designed with Priam customers in mind, Gloria said. “People would come in and say, ‘I don’t really like reds, they’re too tannic.'” They came up with a sweeter aged red “that has some sophistication to it,” she said, and now “it flies off the shelves.”

Priam’s Gewurztraminer, described as “a crisp, minerally, beautifully fragrant and floral, Alsatian style white,” is another winery favorite, though not currently available. A bourbon barrel-aged St. Croix, which has won four international gold medals, features a palate of “ripe blackberry and mulberry, praline, mocha and subtle smokiness.”

Priam also offers two versions of rosé: a semisweet Blackledge Rosé with flavors of Bing cherry, tart cranberry, raspberry and toffee apple, and a drier Salmon River Rosé with a crisp finish, conveying “delicate fresh raspberry and lemon mouth feel.”

Other selections include a barrel-fermented chardonnay, the St. Croix blend Blackledge Red and the Salmon River red, a blend of St. Croix and cabernet sauvignon.

FOOD: Priam sells packaged snacks like meats and cheeses in its tasting room areas, and encourages guests to bring picnics to be enjoyed outside on the patio (no outside food in the tasting room.) The winery also offers occasional organized tasting events, featuring its wines paired with Cato Corner cheese and handcrafted cookie dough from DoughLuv, both neighboring Colchester businesses.

PRICING: Priam offers three levels of tastings. A Level One tasting, for $10, includes four preselected wines and an 11-ounce white wine glass. A Level Two tasting, for $15, includes six preselected wines and a 16-ounce Bordeaux glass. Diamond Level Three for $20 includes eight preselected wines, including Priam reserve wine; an 18-ounce Bordeaux glass and chocolate. A chocolate and wine pairing for $25 includes five wines paired with five chocolates and an 11-ounce white wine glass.

Priam wines are $10 to $14 by the glass; $20 to $40 by the bottle. Glasses of red and white sangria are $10 apiece.

SPECIAL EVENTS: Priam hosts a Father’s Day barbecue June 16 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a catered lunch by Gourmet Galley (entree choice of pork ribs, hamburger or hot dogs) and a glass of wine. The winery’s UnWINEd concert series kicks off July 5 and runs through Aug. 23, with weekly Friday night events featuring live music, wine and food trucks. Tickets are $14 online; $16 at the gate.

TASTING ROOM HOURS: Priam is open Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. now through December.

LIVEKINDLY: “Mean Girls” Turns 15 and There’s a Vegan Wine to Help You Cope

Washington-based winery Nocking Point has launched a vegan “Mean Girls” wine to celebrate the movie’s 15th anniversary.

It’s been 15 years since “Mean Girls” first hit theaters and to this day, Tina Fey’s comedy remains a beloved part of pop and camp culture. And there’s now a fetch vegan wine to help you celebrate.

Walla Walla, Washington-based winery Nocking Point Wines has teamed up with “Mean Girls” star Jonathan Bennett, who plays Regina George’s (Rachel McAdams) ex and Cady Heron’s (Lindsay Lohan) love interest, to launch the bubbly pink Wednesday Rosé. Because on Wednesdays we drink pink, right?

“You CAN sip with us,” begins the description for the vegan rosé, a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Zinfandel made in a collaboration between Scot Bilbro of Sonoma County’s Marietta Cellars and Bennett.

Is Wine Vegan?

What could be non-vegan about fermented grape juice? Whether or not wine is vegan all comes down to the winery how it goes about the fining process — an industry term that refers to how wine is filtered.

Fining might involve the use of animal-derived ingredients like egg whites, milk proteins, gelatin, or isinglass, the dried swim bladder of certain fish species. The substances bind to targeted components — usually, tannins or proteins — in the wine resulting in a clearer “finish.” While traditional, animal products aren’t needed for the fining process — bentonite clay, kaolin clay, pea protein isolate, limestone, and silica are all vegan options.

Eliminating animal products from the winemaking process is the goal of BevVeg, a vegan firm launched by former prosecutor and litigator Carissa Kranz. While the term “vegan” is not regulated by the USDA or FDA, a BevVeg logo means that not only that the wine in question is free from animal ingredients, but also that the company was completely transparent about ingredients used in its process.

“More than half of purchasing decisions are based on the label,” Carissa Kranz told LIVEKINDLY last October. “Companies, products, and brands are redefining their labels to target the evolving consumer audience. BevVeg is a way for a company to target the conscious consumer and, likewise, a way for the consumer to shop with confidence.”

Nocking Point’s vegan “Mean Girls” rosé is available online.

La demanda vegana está creciendo exponencialmente en los mercados de consumo. Ya sea por convicción o moda, el porcentaje de veganos o vegetarianos va en aumento. Solo en el último año, el crecimiento de demanda se ha incrementado en un 1500%.

En mercados internacionales, este sector es muy importante y sigue creciendo. Los mercados líderes son los de China, Emiratos Árabes y Australia.

Sin embargo, en España, la demanda es baja a pesar de dicho crecimiento. En nuestro país, el 7,8% de los consumidores basan su alimentación en vegetales, y de forma esporádica incluyen carne o pescado. De ese porcentaje, el 6,3% se denomina flexivegetariano, el 1,3% vegetariano y el 0,2% vegano.

¿QUIÉNES SON CCL CERTIFICACIÓN?

“Nuestra intención es que los consumidores veganos tengan una información fiel y a la vez proporcionar a las empresas una herramienta de verificación que solucione el problema de transparencia en el etiquetado, tal y como demandan los consumidores”, declaraba CCL Certificación.

BevVeg es una empresa estadounidense de verificación vegana administrada por un despacho de abogados, encabezados por su fundadora Carissa Kranz. La abogada Kranz, vegana, decidió fundar la empresa ante la falta de transparencia en el etiquetado de los alimentos. Actualmente, el bufete de abogados posee gran prestigio internacional en el sector agroalimentario. Y, como opera exclusivamente para la autentificación de productos veganos, sus niveles de conocimiento son excepcionales.

BevVeg es la certificación necesaria para todo tipo de productos veganos. Por ejemplo, alimentos, bebidas alcohólicas y no alcohólicas, productos cosméticos y productos de limpieza e higiene. Es el único distintivo cuyo alcance está diseñado específicamente para incluir bebidas. Además, cuenta con una larga tradición en la autentificación de vino y cerveza vegana.
