Most people think that all wines are vegan since they're mostly made from grapes. After all, how much more plant-based can you get when you're just drinking fermented grape juice, right? However, most wines aren't actually vegan since they may contain animal byproducts like egg albumin, fish oil, blood and bone marrow, milk protein, and gelatin. These are typically used by wine producers during the fining or filtration process to remove sediment. As such, finding vegan wine can be a bit tricky, especially if you're new to the plant-based lifestyle. Fortunately, some celebrities have started launching their own vegan wine brands to cater to those who prefer to consume sustainable and cruelty-free products. 

The vegan wine market is growing at an unprecedented rate, and experts predict that the global market is estimated to reach $5 billion by 2030. With some of Hollywood's best paving the way for vegan wine makers, we can expect to see more organic and sustainable wine options in groceries, wine shops, and supermarkets in the coming years. If you're looking for a new wine to pair with vegan food, or are simply curious about vegan wine, here are some of the best celebrity-owned vegan wine brands that you should know about.

Avaline

Finding new vegan wines to add to your collection can be an adventure if you go beyond the supermarket aisle and head to a sustainable winery or vineyard. A winery tour or tasting will usually involve a walk through the vineyards, an elaborate or private wine tasting experience, and a meal or snacks to pair with your wine of choice, depending on the winery you choose. To know if the winery is truly vegan or sustainable, find out if it has been certified by a neutral third party as some wineries that claim to be vegan have yet to be verified.

For certified organic wine, check out the wineries that produce Avaline Wines, owned by Cameron Diaz and entrepreneur Katherine Power. These wineries have been certified by the Competent Body of Catalonia, ECOCERT, WSDA, and EcoGruppo Italia, and all the Avaline wines are made from certified-organic grapes. In an interview with Barron's, the ‘Charlie's Angels’ star said that it was important for them to find farms that practice organic farming. She also said that being transparent about their ingredients “is our way of saying your well-being matters to us.” Avaline offers a variety of vegan wines, including Rose, Pinot Noir, Lambrusco, Riesling, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc, among others, with bottles starting at $24 and wine sets at $156.

Fresh Vine Wines

Back in 2022, ‘The Vampire Diaries’ star Nina Dobrev and her best friend, ‘Dancing With the Stars’ pro Julianne Hough, teamed up to form a venture called Fresh Vine Wines. Not only are their wines vegan-friendly, but they're also low in carbs, sugar, and calories, making them the perfect choice for those who consume wine regularly. What's more, those with sensitivities to gluten will be happy to know that their wines are naturally gluten-free, and they also use less sulfites and sulfates to preserve their products. Currently, they're offering seven types of vegan wine, so take your pick from a Chardonnay, Rose, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Brut Rose, and a Limited Edition Cabernet Sauvignon. Bottles are priced within the $18 to $24 range, except for the Limited Edition variant which costs $125.

Della Vite

Top model and actress Cara Delevingne, along with her sisters Poppy and Chloe, are owners of Della Vite, a Prosecco brand that is certified vegan and based on the concept of sustainable production. Their winery, which is right in the heart of Northern Italy, is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area is known for its environmental significance, and this means that their winery's sustainability practices are constantly monitored for consistency and adherence. 

As part of their clean production practices, they only use solar energy in their winery, and their wine is filtered through a ceramic system, so this means that no animal byproducts are used during the fining process. They have three types of Prosecco, namely a Rose, Superiore, and Treviso, but they also offer a non-alcoholic Rose for around $18 per bottle.
