The Fine Print Could Be A Liability

  

From time to time, for various occasions, Cam and I will treat ourselves to some beverages (aka booze). One of these times, we picked up a bottle of Asti and as we were leaving the store, Cameron spied a very inexpensive (aka cheap) bottle of “Passion Pop” which intrigued him, because it was lemon lime flavoured. I grimaced, but told him to put it in the cart and we’d try it for experimentation’s sake.

The Asti was lovely, as usual. The Passion Pop?

Hrmmm. So nasty that I didn’t finish one glass. THEN I read the label:

“LEMON LIME FLAVOURED WINE PRODUCT
Produced with the aid of milk, fish, egg & nut products and traces may remain.”

Eewwwwwwww…

So, that’s the difference between a good inexpensive wine and a cheap wine….

…product.

    Actually -Most wine bottles say that… even the expensive bottles.

    Really? Wow.
    I’ve never noticed it till then..

    I do know that at least the Asti never mentions it… and it sure tastes heaps better, even if it does use those things!

    In Australian (and most other countries) it is a legel requirement to place ‘Used with the aid of milk, fish, egg and nut products and traces may remain’. These items aren’t actually mixed into the wine but are used as fining agents. Egg is probably the easiest to explain, if you have ever made a consomme you would use egg whites to fine the soup and leave it clear, the egg whites are used in exactly the same way for wine. It is a very common practice and is used in all qualities of wine. Some labels may not list this as it is not a legel requirement in their country.
