Is there wheat or gluten in wine?

Yes it can have gluten in it. Do a Google search on gluten and red wine and you will see that lately gluten has been used as a clarifying agent in red wines. It used to be animal proteins but because of "mad cow disease", believe it or not, wine makers have started using wheat gluten as an alternative.

Also many wine producers age their wines in wood barrels. These barrels are often pre-treated with a wheat-flour paste on the insides to prevent leakage. Of course this paste has gluten in it which will contaminate the wines.

So, you need to do some research to make sure the red or white wine you buy is not contaminated with gluten.

When is wheat sown and harvested?

It depends on the type of wheat that was planted. There are two broad categories, "winter wheat" and "spring wheat".

Winter wheat is planted in late fall so it can sprout to about 3 inches tall before snow falls. And then it comes back up early in the spring and is ready to be harvested mid summer (late July).

Spring wheat is planted as early in the spring as your region will allow, and is usually harvested in late August to mid-September. The exact timing varies by geographical region.

In either case you wait until the plants are golden yellow and the heads are drooping down before you try to test the grain for ripeness. The most reliable way to tell if the wheat is ready for harvest is to try to bite one of the grains. If it is soft and spongy, it is not dry enough and if you harvest it like that it will probably rot from too much moisture in the grain. If you bite a grain and it is hard and cracks between your teeth, it is ready to be harvested.
