Actually a legitimate question. Some wineries use fish finings to clarify their wine.
supermariosunshine
nothing says alpha as fuck carnivore like being threatened by vegans
Subsound
People do have a right to know what they are drinking, and seems a bit of an overreaction for a quick question...
PloppyFenis

So, now their wines are non-vegan, non-kosher and non-halal. :---)
dieblob
And the anti-vegan circle jerk continues

This shows his own ignorance in wine making as well, as asking if it is vegan is a legitimate question.

I see Maynard is as much of an "edgy" dipshit as ever.

Do you use chitosan as a clarifier? Its technically an animal product.

A little less fucking around with grapes and a little more Tool music would be really neat. It's only been 10 years. What? No I'm not 1/2

bitter, you're bitter! I'm just fine with listening to four albums on repeat forever.... Did I say all that out loud just now?
KUURTLURNN
haha they're all still perfect... have you watched "Blood Into Wine" ??
Faichan
The best thing is - not all wine is vegan, due to a red color made of red bugs, which can be used to make the wine have deeper color.
pinecone
Also several clearing agents are animal based (gelatin, eggs etc)

KUURTLURNN
He's the lead singer of Tool, Tool has a huggggge following.
IWishIWereNotAllergicToCats
Hardly even qualifies as "sarcastic". It's just obnoxious, and kinda baffling that he would think it makes sense to respond like that.
LiterallyYourMom
There's a very common stereotype that vegans can't take a joke. Every vegan joke I see just proves it right because someone gets outraged.
IWishIWereNotAllergicToCats
Are you referring to me? I eat meat though. And I'm not really outraged, I just think he's a being a bit of a twat. Certainly not funny...

"Cheese". I was born lactose intolerant so have had quite the time eating what's labeled vegetarian/vegan cheese, and it fucking ain't!
UraniusCrack
how?
brewcrew30
Like fake meats (soy) they use substitutes to replace their animal-based counterpart. I hear the better vegan cheeses are made from almonds.

I don't see what's wrong for asking. Vegans usually live the way they do for ethical reasons. If your product is friendly to the cause 1/2

A high school friend was out for a week because the juices from a pepperoni got on their pizza. They never had meat as a child.

He has called his own fans "fucking retards". He does not care.

There's been backlash. A preachy vegan tried to ruin a restaurant for not being vegan enough, since then it's been proudly non-vegan.
PinkyToeSlayerOfTableLegs
People of imgur using logic and reasoning? Unheard of!
Seanspeed
I think the point is that asking if a specific wine is vegan is a seriously, seriously dumb question.
Ophelis
Many others have said it's not.
Seanspeed
What are they saying? What wine has animal-based products in it? :/
Ophelis
Read the other comments. Example: "Some wineries use fish finings to clarify their wine."
agoddamnferret
Because it makes you look like a pretentious twat to ask, as if you're better than another for using a vegan product that's why (1)
agoddamnferret
and he was making a joke saying "fuck you for asking, but yes they are"
pinecone
Why it would be pretentious to ask? If you are following diet,you need to know if the products you buy are suitable. Not all wines are vegan
agoddamnferret
A manufacturer shouldn't have to change their product because you made a choice (a stupid one at that) to not eat meat products, (1)
agoddamnferret
It's pretentious new age bullshit with no grounding in reality, and you can't expect manufacturers to just conform to it.
pinecone
Of course not. But asking if they are suitable is not even remotely same as wanting them to change it. By your logic, nobody would be 1/2
SatansLover
Yes thank you. I'm Jewish and can't eat pork and people always give me these heinous looks. Like, fuck off and let me be sad.
aghori
you have tried and failed at eating pork? just because you are a kike does not mean you will die or burst into flames for eating pork.
krenn
You mispronounced "choose not to"; you don't have to be religious.
SatansLover
It's a matter of culture. I'm not religious. And no, I can't eat it. It's number 1 no no for us. I don't expect you to understand.
Ninjoo
Good thing about culture is that it can change. As is shown in Israel as there is a PORK trend going on for a few years already.

krenn
Culture is a choice. You don't have a physical reaction to it that you cannot control.
SatansLover
What's your problem anyway? Are you an asshole or just a bigot?
Bystandr
Some people will forego their freedoms to make choices in order to participate in social circles.. especially family. To these, it will seem
SatansLover
Oh please. Even if someone is allergic they still choose to eat something. And we believe there are repercussions to eating pork.

I had that same thought. If he isn't, well then he is a monumental asshole.
UnemployedReceptionist
But is he a highly functioning one?
EarthTourist
clearly.
LetumComplexo
Nah, he's clearly has some empathy. A lot of his music is extremely empathetic, in fact. As is he in interviews.
LetumComplexo
If he was a psychopath (the sociopaths are the dangerous, emotionally unstable, often violent ones) that would be the case.
LetumComplexo
To a psychopath, pretending to have empathy is like trying to describe the Grand Canyon if you've only ever seen grainy phone pictures.
tallbo
Psychopaths have a complete inability to empathize with another person's happiness or pain and suffering,.
L0rdM0M0
Actually neither sociopath nor psychopath are actual technical terms. They are media descriptors for violent antisocial persons
LetumComplexo
Yes but they are commonly recognized terms. Like cold. Or flu.
tallbo
Thats not true. Psychopaths have absolutely no conscience and can not empathize at all, sociopaths have extreme difficulty empathizing.
reverendbonobo
I'm not sure that "making a joke at the expense of vegans" is the sole qualifying criteria for sociopathy. I'll have to check the DSM.

obviously not. but I've known about him, his lyrics, his attitudes for a bout 20 years

cognitive dissonance
SemperFiSteph
Because vegans display cognitive dissonance?
Coolex
mostly people hateful about something new for them that puts their beliefs in doubt, anger is a common reaction to that
SemperFiSteph
Ah, I see. Completely logical and reasonable answer.
Morrigi
Because a minority of vegans are hateful towards the majority of society. In reaction to that hate, all vegans were targeted.
SemperFiSteph
But I mean, if a vegan isn't being hateful, then why attack? I'm a vegan but I don't care if anyone else is. I'm not gonna push my beliefs.
ToolAddict
Because of the way vegans whore for attention, kinda like like your post with "who said vegan was boring" it's vegans that says that shit..

Feralkyn
Yeah, as a vegetarian fuck that! HONEY FOR ALL
d1ckbu77
Oh my god, can I live without honey ???????????????????
Ophelis
No, you don't. It's debated whether you should or not, but bees not being able to suffer means honey is more often considered vegan.
freshstrawberrie
Veganism is for abstaining from anything that exploits animals. Insects are animals.
Ophelis
Exploitation that does not involve suffering is an area of ethical uncertainty; it's up to the individual to decide whether it is or not.
freshstrawberrie
Yes, you do. All the vegans I know abstain from beeswax. honey, etc. because the bees *DO* suffer and die in the collection process.
Ophelis
Evidence? If it is as infallible a conclusion as you claim, why is it debated?
freshstrawberrie
without human interruption. That means no bee products as well. I'm not going to debate whether or not they suffer. It's not the point.
freshstrawberrie
The point of veganism is abstaining from any and all exploitation of animals, including insects, and letting them live their lives 1/2

There are vegan wines though.

For those who don't want to harm animals but still want to know more about wine than you do, we bring you vegan wine.

When you are allergic to egg whites, this is one new thing to remember. The amount of allergene is so small that I'm currently ok with it.
LostCatWantedDeadAndAlive
From Hannibal:
Bumchi
egg whites
DoubleChungTransplant
And a lot of breweries use isenglass (fish swim bladder) or gelatin for clarity. There are vegetable based fining agents though
governmentgavemeagun
YES And/or milk product
SuicideByAccountant
I did not know this.. the more you know.
nahemah
Also some of them use fish intestines for filtering
slickdickricktherockskippingchampionoftheworld
or isenglass
HaYouForgotTheSubjunctive
Are they taking the Hobbits there?
HowardMoonsHotpants
Love how your extremely salient comment has largely been overlooked!
NekoMiko06
Some use gelatin, even.
squeeks32
And almost all wines are filtered through a fish stomach during the process of becoming wine.
lesliethearrow
Some are filtered through livestock bone char, just like beet sugar is.
squeeks32
Yes yes. I'm in culinary so I had to take a food a beverage class and wine process is very interesting.
slickdickricktherockskippingchampionoftheworld
it really depends on how much you want to strip from the wine during the fining process.
ocdmn
I thought you were kidding.... :|
WhotheFuckAretheArcticMonkeyss
Use to be true, but not really anymore, as stated already, natural egg proteine or synthetic derivatives are much more common.
Leithoa
Not everyone uses isinglass. Whey/caesin & egg white derivatives are common alternatives.
squeeks32
Heard of those too also they use ashes of dead animals during some wine making.
Leithoa
I can't imagine what for. Gelatin, sure, but ashes?
squeeks32
It's like a fining agent to help filter the wine during its making process
WhotheFuckAretheArcticMonkeyss
And by tons you mean 99%. I'm pretty confident saying almost no Wines are vegan.
discardedusername
This is so strange to me
KenmoreChalfant
From what I've read, Maynard was being sarcastic and his wines actually ARE vegan.

I homebrew and I just use fruit, yeast, and water in mine and it turns out just fine...what am I missing?
WhotheFuckAretheArcticMonkeyss
Lucky you. We've been homemaking wine in my family for generations. And it's always the same shitty-piss we love!
FoxySpirit
Wtf, where are you from?Noone in Austria has or does use any protein. Though we used glycol which caused a huge scandal reforming everything
LostCatWantedDeadAndAlive
I bet you guys were pissed when Fireball stole your 30-Year "Antifreeze" thunder last year.
FoxySpirit
I honestly don't know what you mean? We reformed from quantity to quality and have made awesome quality wine since then.
LostCatWantedDeadAndAlive
I know. It was the best thing that ever happened to Austrian wine. And I'm being sincere. It forced you guys to focus on your awesome 1/?
PascalsBookie
There are some, but they will be clearly labeled vegan. I've had like 2 different vegan wines in my life.
WhotheFuckAretheArcticMonkeyss
Vegan-Nazis would definitly not consider a wine using animal proteins for it's making as compliant with their diet.
WhotheFuckAretheArcticMonkeyss
Just like why wine isn't Koscher but Vodka is... Damnit Koscher and vegan-nazi in the same sentence, did I earn a Godwin-Point ?
FindusSomKatten

How were they?
PascalsBookie
ok. I didn't notice any significant taste difference. I think they were pretty good, but at $20/bottle, should have been better
ZeroCookie
Try the "Two Buck Chuck" (Charles Shaw wine) for $1.99 a bottle. I think refining wine in a vegan-friendly process is actually cheaper.
IridescentLotus
Yeah, for sure
