There is a lot more in your wine glass than you’ve been led to believe, and most of it never makes it onto the label!  From sulfites and oak chips to egg whites, fish bladders and even additives that require hazmat suits to handle, in the episode, I’m sharing what’s actually in your wine glass and why it matters. We’ll dig into the difference between common additives that help stabilize and shape wine and the corrective additives used to “fix” flaws or standardize mass-market bottles of wine. We’re talking about everything from yeast cocktails to Mega Purple and powdered tannins, plus the surprising ingredients that make some wines non-vegan I’ll share why your favorite red blend tastes the same year after year, and what’s really behind those wine headaches (spoiler: it’s probably not sulfites). So, if you’re curious about what’s really in your wine glass and want to easily understand the world of wine additives, then this episode is for you! Thank you to VoChill for sponsoring this episode.
