What kind of drinks are gluten free?

Answer 1

Okay, so most drinks that someone would consume during the day tend to be gluten free. For example:

Water

Milk

Soft drinks (cola, lemonade, creaming soda)

Wine

Lemon, lime & bitters

Most spirits

Juice

I think the better advice is what to watch out for. With me, I avoid anything chocolate, malt or caramel flavoured, all beers and anything containing ice cream or syrups.

When you can't check the label yourself, it is best to just avoid. Where you can, be checking for 'malt' 'dextrose' 'wheat' 'barley' etc.

I will generally avoid the following:

Nesquick, milo or any sort of mix in milk flavouring

Drinking chocolate & mochas

Flavour shots in coffee (sometimes hazelnut is OK)

Milkshakes (strawberry is usually the only safe flavour) & flavoured milk

Thickshakes (soft serve almost always contains gluten)

Beer

Weight loss shakes

I can't think of much more off the top of my head, but stick with water, soda, juices and unprocessed drinks, you should be fine.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The other answer is untrue. The ingredients used in wine and wine vinegars are gluten free, however wine barrels are traditionally coated with a layer of wheat paste.

Currently, you have to check the bottle or with the supplier to ensure your wine is gluten free.

Answer 3

No wines contain gluten. Wine is made from grapes or other fruits, and gluten comes from wheat.

Answer 4

Wine doesn't contain gluten, as gluten comes from wheat and wine is made from grapes.
