Is red wine vinegar vegan?

Yes, red wine vinegar is considered vegan. It’s made from fermented red wine, which is typically derived from grapes and not any animal products. However, some might argue that specific vinegars may not be vegan if the red wine it was made from was clarified with animal-based products such as egg whites or gelatin. Most brands, though, now use vegan-friendly methods or ingredients in the clarification process.

Is red wine vinegar keto-friendly?

Yes, red wine vinegar is keto-friendly. It contains zero grams of carbohydrates, so it won’t contribute to your daily carb count.

Red wine vinegar, being a product of fermented red wine, is classified as a natural food and is hence considered paleo-friendly.

Is red wine vinegar Whole30-compliant?

Keep in mind that additives like added sugars or sulfites aren’t in line with Whole30 guidelines. However, naturally occurring sulfites, which are often found in red wine vinegar, are acceptable. Please ensure to read labels and ensure there are no sugars or other non-compliant additives.
