It was once again brought to my attention that while the majority of wine is gluten-free<\/a>, it may be aged in oak barrels that are sealed with wheat paste.  According to a recent study by Tricia Thompson, MS, RD and contributors Amy Jones, MS, RD, Lisa Almenoff, MS, RD, Luke Emerson-Mason (Bia Diagnostics), Thomas Grace (Bia Diagnostics), Kristin Voorhees (NFCA), Cheryl McEvoy (NFCA) and FA (winery), wine aged in oak barrels sealed with wheat paste appears to be gluten-free<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n

The sampling test relied on two different tests for gluten detection \u2013 the Sandwich R5 ELISA and the Competitive R5 ELISA.  The article and results can be viewed in entirety here<\/a>.  <\/p>\n

I drink wine on a very regular basis.  I love nothing more than a glass of cabernet or pinot noir with dinner.  I have to be honest, I haven\u2019t really given much thought to checking the gluten-free status of my wine because it never seemed to cause me issues (not the right answer, for the record) and while I had heard about the possibility of oak barrels being sealed with wheat paste, there wasn\u2019t much information out there.  <\/p>\n

Do you drink wine?  Have you ever checked the gluten-free status of the wine before drinking it?<\/strong>  <\/p>\n
