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.

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!

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