A. Additives that contain gluten are not allowed to be added to still wine and dessert wine and, therefore, you can safely consume these products. Australian-made sparkling wine does not contain any additives that contain gluten, but Champagne , fortified wine and sherry may contain spirit derived from wheat grain. Nonetheless, they do not contain detectable gluten and hence are considered to be gluten free’. Australian-made and imported fortified wine and sherry may contain caramel colour, which is additive number 150a-d. Caramel may be derived from wheat starch, but it doesn’t contain detectable gluten and hence is considered to be gluten free’. For further information on Coeliac Disease, please refer to the website of the Coeliac Society of Australia, www.coeliac.org.au.
