GLUTEN FREE PRODUCTS: BEVERAGE


Many types of alcoholic beverages are considered as gluten free. Grape made armagnac, beers made of buckwheat, sorghum, rice, corn, etc which are gluten free. Distillation process removes protein as well as gluten and that’s why most distilled whiskeys are maybe gluten free. Tequila, sherry, port, rum, cider, vermouth, mead, cider, brandy, wine, etc, these spirits are made without grain and do not contain gluten. When malted barley or wheat are used to brew beers and will contain gluten.
Gluten is used as a clarifying agent in some vineyards so coeliacs should exercise caution on choosing beverage. Many people diagnosed with celiac disease still experience symptoms when drinking distilled alcoholic beverages, so it is advised that a person with celiac disease check with a manufacturer about the ingredients. Some says amino acids are produced when brewing the proteins from barley or wheat and thus these beverages are gluten free, but it proved wrong.
