Locavore wine in Brooklyn?

CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), aka Locavore you join - runs the social gamut from fancy weddings at the Plaza Hotel to supply-chains in poor communities. It's usually yer box of kale and vegetables, but SouthsideCSA in Williamsburg is adding "New York’s first ever Wine CSA in partnership with Bridge Vineyards, bringing you great bottles from local vineyards!". Next question, is it vegan?

Monday

Vegan Wine

Organic, Bio-organic, and "not filtered through animal products". Because Wine is clarified, or cleared, after fermentation. Some ingredients used include:
- edible gelatins (made from bones)
- isinglass (made from the swim bladders of fish)
- casein and potassium caseinate (milk proteins)
- animal albumin (egg albumin and dried blood powder)
There are lots in the UK and Europe. US suppliers?
Freywine (US)
eco-wine (US) Will ship
