The Vegan Booze Directory (needs your help...)

[Boy! Now here's a useful service... it's kept updated AND is participatory.  Check it out!  Here's some snippets from the main webpage:

"What's Wrong with Alcohol:  Putting aside arguments about health, many beers, wines and other alcoholic beverages are filtered with animal ingredients such as isinglass (derived from fish) or bone char.  While the filtering process only leaves trace animal residues in the final product, the fact that animal products are used at all leaves many beverages off of the vegan drinker's shopping list.  To make matters worse, some drinks are simply not vegan by virtue of their ingredients, as cream, eggs, and even whole chickens can be added to a drink to give it a distinctive flavour or property. The trouble is, this isn't something you'll find on a label.

What can I do?:  We've started the Vegan Booze Directory to help you build a proper vegan bar, but we need a bit of help.  Alcohol, especially beer, is incredibly regional, and the odds are that your favourite brand isn't even available in other parts of the world.  Combined with the sheer number of drinks out there, it's clear that we need more than one or two people to build the list.  We need volunteers in the following areas..."

[Fellow vegans... a great cause worth volunteering for... Again, the link to The Vegan Booze Directory... now... when's that text-based iPod version coming out?  Go Vegan!]

Thank you for the booze list! My favorite cheep wine is not vegan. I always wondered about that. Thanks again.
