Is Absolut Vodka Gluten Free

If you have Celiac disease or a gluten intolerance, you might be wondering if Absolut is gluten free. The answer to this question is not straightforward. One of the main ingredients in Absolut is winter wheat, which means it could contain trace amounts of gluten. Winter wheat is harvested late in the year when it’s harder for farmers to control cross-pollination with other types of wheat—and thus potential contamination with gluten-containing grains like barley and rye. However, this doesn’t mean that all vodkas made from winter wheat are necessarily contaminated with gluten; rather it means that there is some risk involved if you have Celiac disease or a severe sensitivity to gluten (like myself).

A question about whether Absolut is a gluten free vodka

• *Absolut is made from barley and wheat.**

No, Absolut is not gluten free. The vodka is made from distilled grains and therefore contains gluten. If you have Celiac disease or a severe allergy to gluten, this is definitely not an option for you.

This is not part of the answer

people think Absolut is Gluten Free, but it is not. It’s made from winter wheat and barley.

The high-quality vodka brand, Absolut Vodka, is made from winter wheat and barley. Therefore, it is not gluten free. The grain used to produce the vodka is sourced from countries such as France, Germany and Poland.

In order to make alcohol without any gluten content in it (which would be a byproduct of the distillation process), manufacturers have to use special equipment that allows them to filter out potential contaminants such as wheat and barley. However, this extra step costs money and time for producers—and there are no regulations requiring them to do so!

Absolut is NOT a gluten free vodka.

Absolut is NOT a gluten free vodka.

If you are looking for a gluten-free option in your vodka, you will need to look elsewhere. Absolut does not use any ingredients that contain gluten, however they do use wheat as an anti-foaming agent in filtering the vodka and they also make their bottles from wheat (which are then sterilized).

Absolut is NOT a gluten free vodka. It’s made from winter wheat and barley, so it’s not safe for people with Celiac Disease or those who are intolerant of gluten.
