VEGAN WINES AND SPIRITS SERVED HERE? TWO LATINAS ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS A REALITY

Two Latin entrepreneurs, Jessica Contreras of Fuego Fino, Inc, and Frances Gonzalez of Vegan Wines, come together to make vegan wine and spirits more accessible to consumers.

“Plant-based and planet-friendly is a powerful combination, not to mention the fact that we are two Latin women who are finding ways to work and build with one another. This is a win-win for our respective communities — and for female-founded ventures as a whole. It shows that when we come together, we can bring opportunity and change to the market,” says CEO Jessica Contreras. 

AREN’T ALL WINES AND SPIRITS VEGAN?

No. The primary reason why wines and spirits are not vegan has to do with how producers clean up the product’s appearance, which usually involves the use of gelatins from animals, milk, and fish proteins. This process is known as “fining.” In most cases, producers use the animal-based proteins to act like magnets and attract the cloudy elements in young wines to more easily remove them. The most commonly used fining proteins are gelatin (animal protein), casein (a milk protein), albumin (egg whites), and isinglass (fish bladder protein).

Frances is originally from New York, NY and is an experienced professional in the wine industry. As a vegan wine expert, she currently serves as President of Vegan Wines, a completely vegan-friendly wine club.

She is also a member of the Women of the Vine & Spirits, where she assists in coordinating events that support an environment for female engagement in the wine business.

Frances also has extensive experience in the Vegan industry, having founded VegFest Puerto Rico, a festival that focuses on creating a community to enjoy a variety of vegan-friendly foods and products.
