What Spirits Are Not Gluten Free

Wine and cider are naturally gluten free when made from grapes or apples without malt additives. Distilled spirits are considered gluten free because distillation removes proteins, though flavored spirits can add gluten-containing ingredients. Safe choices include plain vodka, rum, gin, tequila, and unflavored cider. Avoid malt beverages and wine coolers made with barley malt. Check flavored varieties for added syrups or beer blends.
