    Wine is not vegan. Wine uses sulphites which are made from crustaceans.

      It’s isinglass rather that sulphites that makes a lot of beer and wine non-vegan. It’s a type of collagen made from certain fish (not usually crustaceans, so far as I know) that makes the yeast suspended in the liquid sink and coalesce into a sediment that can be removed. If you try homebrewing you’ll find that your own produce is hazy unless you use isinglass, although it doesn’t significantly change the taste

      It’s not the sulphites, but the chitosan that acts as a clarifier that comes from shrimp shells and makes it not vegan.

      Milk and fishes are also sometimes used to filter the wine.
