Picking And Choosing...gluten free alcoholGluten Free Alcohol! Whats In it!


Want to party gluten free, well alcohol is still allowed you just need to be a little more cautious about what you drink.

Gluten Free and Spirits.

Some Brown spirits can be okay, it really depends on the person drinking, and can simply be a case of trial and error, alot of gluten free people stick to Gin, or rum
I tend to stick to vodka, although small traces can be retained in the distillation process.


Gluten Free And Premixers.

 These can be a bad idea, as most countries do not require alcohol providers to list the ingredients in there product, I recommend sticking to alcohols that you mix yourself, clean alcohols have caused me less irritation and allergies then others. RTD seem to be full of rubbish that causes allergens, along with sugar and sulphates, which can turn a nights drinking into an itchy nightmare.

Cider is an excellent choice for gluten free people, and is often overlooked. Wine is another excellent alternative, If you find a wine that you like, and you know agrees with you, then you can stick to a few, its a preferential thing. For more information on Wine Allergies Check out This Article

Gluten and Cocktails.

Unless you get a detailed description of whats in the cocktail, or its one you know, it can pay to stay away from cocktails, I recently tried some frozen margaritas, tequila , salt, sugar, lime juice, and what I suspect was some kind of syrup make for a very unpleasant hangover, part gluten, party allergy, part my own fault for drinking so many. Unless you are sure of the ingredients it may not be a good idea... Or make them yourself!

Gluten Free And Beer.

Going with beer gluten free is not always a good idea, but there is hope, there are a number of gluten free beer brands out there, In New Zealand, the Twisted Hop in Christchurch is the main distributer, they import it from Australia, or you can find gluten free beer in a number of American online stores. Beer usually contains malt which causes the gluten content, but these beers are brewed especially without.

Experience With Gluten Free Drinking.

For most people drinking is just a case of trail and error, there are also a number of other things in alcohol that can cause allergies, I have an allergy to white wine, due to the sulphide content, which causes me to get itchy and rashy. Others fine the tannins in wine, to cause allergens, and then you also have to consider your mixers, Soft Drinks are high and sugar, and sulphates that can cause allergies, they can also give you one hell of a sugar hangover.  For more information on Wine Allergies Check out This Article
