OK, I'll spill the can of worms. Those wine bottles that say 2% other is because those grapes are not hand picked. they have a machine that shakes the vines and gets the grapes to fall. and well. Yup, lots of stuff falls into the hopper. snakes, frogs, lizards, etc....Nope, not vegan wine now. the hand picked grapes are the higher end wine so they can say they haven't had any 'extra" ingredients.

It's kinda like soda cans are allowed a certain percentage of rat feces on them...?

yes. and when that percentage is higher, they just hold those pallets and run them through a pressure washer machine. you'd think though that the FDA would at this point have "no acceptable limits" with hantavirus breakouts as of late. 100% reason to wash the can/bottle top you drink from. so many people just have no idea what's out there.

It has so many frogs blended into it that it looses its vegan designation? That is one of the funniest things ive ever heard!

I didn’t see any meat there Paul .
Wait until he cuts it up in bite size pieces, you’ll see, the only way he’ll eat food. I think his dentures bother him.
