[edit] Is there a reason for this article?

If I combine the knowledge gained from Veganism and from Wine, what else is gained from this article? I know vegans don't eat products made from animal products, and I can learn that some wines use animal products in their production, therefore I can deduce that some wine qualifies as vegan and some does not. This article appears to be more about non-animal-based finings, and should probably just be merged. Kellen^T 13:33, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I would disagree with the need for the merge. While finings would certainly be an important and sizable component of this article, there is also room for expansion that would be inappropriate in the Fining article such as labeling issues, organizations that certify vegan wine producers as well as consumer market trends within the wine industry. There are plenty of reliable sources and room for expansion that merits an individual article. Agne^Cheese/^Wine 17:07, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree that this subject deserves an independent article. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 10:34, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I also agree that this article should not be merged. After all, Kosher wine has its own article. This one is just as important.--nk, 03:22, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
