Yes, the nanny state is protecting us by repeating the mantra.

At least the 'caps lock' wasn't on.

Oenology egg white fining news ping.

I would support this IF any of the filtering agents remained in the wine, but they don't!

By the way, the traditional, old-school long-banned but non-necessarily forgotten filter is bull's blood. Some top French vitners still use it, even though they face steep fines and penalties, because it simply works better than any of the alternatives.

If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.

yea cause nobody has food allergies right? Try to feed a kid with multiple allergies then tell me this is a solution with no problem..

[peggybac]

I'm deathly allergic to celery and highly allergic to carrots and rye bread. I don't have to read the labels - if in doubt, I just don't eat the food.

From the article:
Vintners have been using byproducts from milk, eggs, wheat and even fish guts in the winemaking processes for centuries.(emphasis mine)

And just to think, the elites call uncouth and look down their noses at folks like me who prefer beer.

"Fining" agent indeed. (shaking my head)

"Rogers, who is allergic to eggs, said she would notice reactions whenever she tipped a glass of wine."

True... She would seductively strip, pull me into bed, throw her feet into the air and start screaming in delight...

You know we got some people who can't take care of themselves, so they need the government to look after them. There's one of them on this thread.

Ping to Gabz for her 'Nanny State' list.

[Gabz]

Nanny State Ping!!!!!!!!

[Old Professer]

Quit tipping, quit dripping.

Wait until this hits tobacco when it's regulated.

I'm curious how the buying public is going to react to reading the flavoring ingredients on a pack of cigs:

"Tobacco, reconstituted tobacco(floor sweepings), menthol, caribou tongue oil, essence of Siberian Yak droppings, Pakistani figs fermented in camel urine, etc......"

[Pontiac]

They're rallying against the proposal, which they say would make even the biggest oenophiles turn up their noses.

Put the list of ingredients in with the Pregnant women shouldn’t dink warning and no one will ever read it.

[Hoodlum91]

Geez - if you notice you have problems DON'T DRINK IT.

I haven't had wine in years because of allergies. I miss it every once in a while, but until it's sulfur free, it's something else for me.

As an E.D. physician I see the occasional anaphylaxsis. It is tough for people to avoid their allergens. I have no problem with sign alerting people to the possible presence of allergens such as nuts, milk, or eggs. Anaphylaxsis is a tragic situation and a awful way to die.

Here is a good example. If anyone here has been to a marble slab creamery or another ice cream place like that where they mix your Ice cream into a large chunk of goo with whatever topping you like. Most people dont even think that they could have mixed nuts on that same slab the customer before leaving the person with a nut allergy in grave danger. Especially if they are not carrying self injectable epinephrine.
