Vegan Wines At Pizza Expres

I emailed Pizza Express to ask which wines were vegan and would they consider improving the labelling on their menus.   I am surprised Pizza Express have not taken this step already, when they have a vegan pizza on the menu and are very much into catering for their customers needs, being Coeliac UK accredited for their gluten-free options.

I had a very nice email back from Lucy in their Customer Experience Team who said:

All wines sold at Pizza Express restaurants are suitable for vegans and vegetarians with the exception of Pinot Grigio, Pinot Grigio Blush, Pinot Grigio Blush Frizzante, Moscato and Bollinger Champagne.    The Valpolicella Ripasso is suitable for vegetarians but not vegans.   In regards to labelling which wines are vegan and vegetarian on the menu, please be assured that I will pass on your feedback to our internal menu and food teams.

This leaves a good choice for us vegans, as you can see below:

White Wines

Trebbiano, Marche, Italy
Gavi, Piemonte, Italy
Prosecco, Veneto, Italy
Grillo Chardonnay, Sicily

Rose Wine

Merlot Rose, Veneto, Italy

Red Wines

Chianti Riserva D.O.C.G, Tuscany, Italy

Nero d'Avola, Syrah, Sicily

Merlot, Sicily

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo D.O.C, Abruzzo, Italy

Barbera d'Alba, D.O.C, Piemonte, Italy 

I look forward to the day, I walk into a Pizza Express and can choose a wine labelled as vegan on the menu, but in the meantime I have stored this list to the old memory bank!
