Vegan Alcohol

I received a comment a few days ago relating to vegan alcohol.  If you ever wonder whether the alcohol you like to drink is vegan or not — check out Barnivore.com.  It looks like a great resource!  I was very, VERY, glad to see that Bacardi is vegan.  Phew!  (Whether you’re a vegetarian/vegan or not, I hope you’d be opposed to alcohols that use gelatin/bones to filter them — first of all, that’s kind of gross, and second, I can only assume said animal products were not taken from free-range animals.  And if you’re concerned about causing needless animal suffering, you should definitely be concerned about farm animal conditions.)  (Except, perhaps, for some European alcohols — in some European countries free-ranging is mandated by law, so it wouldn’t be as much of a concern there . . .)
