These are the best gluten free and keto wines in my opinion! I have sampled quite a few for research purposes for this post…just for you! HAHA! ISN’T ALL WINE GLUTEN FREE?
This is my favorite answer… YES! Well, most of the time. If it is wine without any additional flavorings it is naturally gluten free. Those pesky natural or unnatural flavorings can contain hidden gluten! If you want to check out my list of hidden gluten in foods you can read more about it here. IS ALL WINE KETO OR PALEO? Unfortunately, no. Some wines have added sugar to them. When you are following a ketogenic diet, you want to avoid all added sugar and consume low sugar or low carbs. Since sugar equals carbs, you can see where I am going with this. Paleo diets, in general also avoid added sugar that is not from honey or fruit. WHICH WINE IS BEST TO DRINK ON A KETOGENIC DIET? If you are going to drink on a ketogenic diet you need to know your carb counts for each drink. One bottle of wine can easily push you over your daily limit on carbs! Here are my top favorites to drink that are not “dry farm wines or low carb wines”.
WHAT IS DRY FARM WINE? Dry Farm Wine is a wine club that sources organic, glyphosate free, gluten free, sugar free, and no additive wine from around the world. It is one of my favorite places to order low carb wine from! Each bottle is less than 1g of Carbs! WHATTTT! That’s something to cheers to! Dry Farm Wines offer bubbles, white, rose, and reds! I have sampled quite a few of the bottles and I am a fan! If you would like to get one bottle of wine to try it for a penny here is my link! They offer subscriptions so your favorite wines will show up at your doorstop however often you would like! It is not to be confused with dry farmed wine. Dry farmed wine is a method of farming without irrigation. Not all dry farmed wines are low sugar wines. If you order through my links, I may receive a small commission. Here are my policies and disclosures. TIED FOR MY FAVORITE KETO WINE IS SECCO WINE CLUB! Secco wine club is similar to Dry Farm Wines. It is all organic, low carb, no additives, sugar free, no glyphosate, and most importantly delicious! They are farmed in ITALY! And if you know me you know that I have a love for Italy and all Italian wines, so I of course love Secco Wine Club! Some day I hope to go back to Italy and visit Secco! If you want to read about my first trip to Italy here’s the link. Their Palo61 Wine is less than 1g of Carbs per bottle! They offer white, rose and red in this variety! They also now have other Italian varieties you can order. Each varies on the carb count but they are all low carbs! You can choose how often you want your favorite wines delivered to your house with Secco as well. I love that they often have free shipping or other specials! THE USUAL WINE- I think the name is super cute! They ship you mini bottles of wine. Each bottle is about 1 1/2 glasses and about 1.5g Carbs per bottle. They are perfect if you don’t want to open a full bottle of wine. To be honest, we usually end up opening two of them and in that case, it would be more cost effective and carb effective to open a bottle of Palo61 or Dry Farms Wines. But if you have more self control than I do and are only looking for one serving they are perfect! They are natural wines with no additives farmed in California. Those are my top 3 ketogenic, gluten free, and paleo wines. If you are more of a beer drinker check out my post on gluten free beer here! If you are following a ketogenic diet remember to watch the carb count in drinks especially wine, beer, or cocktails as it can add up quickly to your whole day’s amount of carbs! Cheers to you if you try any of these wines! As Always, Best Wishes for Gluten Free Dishes! XO, Michelle

Gluten Free Beer can only mean one thing in my mind and that is that it’s made from 100% gluten free ingredients and is Celiac Safe! However, not everyone advertising gluten free beer agrees with me! There are brands out there that claim to remove gluten from the brewing process, but I don’t trust that! They brew the beer with gluten-containing ingredients and use a chemical to “remove” the gluten. The Gluten Intolerance Group published a study The Celiac Patient Antibody Response to Conventional and Gluten-Removed Beer and it showed that some patients with Celiac Disease react to gluten removed beer. I happen to be one of those people… I drank an Omission beer once and that was enough for me! After that experience, I went back to the trusted 100% gluten free beers available. HOW IT STARTED: When I was first diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I used to love having the occasional Guinness. Once I found out that I could no longer drink the dark coffee flavored deliciousness, I was on the hunt for a gluten free replacement! At the time, there were none to be found. The only gluten free beer I could find at Whole Foods was: Red Bridge and New Grist. And neither one of them resembled Guinness. THE FIRST GLUTEN FREE STOUT THAT I TRIED: Glutenberg Beer was actually the first gluten free stout that I tried! It’s made in Canada and it is ELISA tested to make sure it is Celiac Safe! I had heard about this beer but could not buy it in Arizona, so we went to visit our family in Canada and there it was on the shelf! We even went to California to buy it when it was available there first! I love their Stout GLUTEN FREE BEER RECIPES: If you like to cook with gluten free beer, you might like this recipe for Gluten Free Beer Cheese Soupas well as Gluten Free Irish Stew! WHAT I LEARNED FROM MY VISIT TO HOLIDAILY IN COLORADO: When we visited Holidaily, we learned how they use 100% gluten free ingredients to brew their beer! This makes them Celiac Safe! They have a super cute location in Golden! I love their Favorite Blonde as well as the Adventure Series one! Their Stout is also delicious… too many good ones to really choose a favorite! And we tried one of each when we were there to visit…they are sample sized and I shared! lol! IF YOU ARE IN PORTLAND YOU NEED TO TRY GROUND BREAKER BREWING! We have gone to Oregon every year for the past 5 years for a wine trip! I know this is about beer, not wine… I am getting to the point lol. We wanted a break from wine tasting, so we went to Ground Breaker! We got to devour some of their delicious food as well as sample some tasty beers! THERE ARE LOTS OF GLUTEN FREE BEERS NOW-
There are more and more gluten free beers on the market now! I can’t wait to try more when we visit other areas of the country and world! Best Gluten Free Beers has a list published of USA and Worldwide beer options! Check them out here! If you know of a gluten free beer brand that I should check out please let me know! Cheers! One last thing… if you are more of a wine drinker check out my post on the best gluten free and keto wine in my opinion! As Always, Best Wishes for Gluten Free Dishes! XO, Michelle |
