Weird Al Yankovic And Vegetarian Yellow Tail Wine Options
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 18th, 2010 in Business, Food & Drink, Male Singers, Not So Vegetarian.
Celebrities are known to demand everything backstage and on the road, sometimes healthy and sometimes not.
Being a vegan, Weird Al Yankovic keeps his requests meat and dairy free, but he didn’t do his homework during his 2003 Poodle Hat tour.
According to The Washington Post, Yankovic is a big fan of white wine, his favorite being Chardonnay. “Yellow Tail brand is preferred,” said the source.
A quick check to the vegetarian and vegan friendly wine directory reveals Yellow Tail white wines are neither.
“Our [yellow tail] white wines, however, do use gelatin as part of the finishing/clarification process.”
Yellow Tail red wines are completely vegan though, and the sugar is derived from grape juice concentrate derived at the factory.

Al’s not much of a drinker, actually. The specifications on the tour rider (where the Post got its info, I’m sure) are for the benefit of everybody on the tour, Al himself, band, crew, etc. It’s about 20 people all together.
No way of telling who it is who’s the Yellow Tail fan, unless you feel like hanging around after a show and asking. And if I wait around after a Weird Al show, I’m not going to waste that moment of face time asking him about his catering preferences.
