Gelatin is made from the boiling of animal parts. Wine specifically responds best to type A gelatin, which is derived from the boiling of pig's skin. [1] It takes only one ounce of gelatin to clarify 1,000 gallons of wine. Gelatin is used in both white and red wines to fix haze/color and to adjust the flavor or bitterness of the wine. [3]
Gelatin is used as a binder in match heads [39] and sandpaper. [40] Cosmetics may contain a non-gelling variant of gelatin under the name hydrolyzed collagen (hydrolysate). Gelatin was first used as an external surface sizing for paper in 1337 and continued as a dominant sizing agent of all European papers through the mid-nineteenth century. [41]
Proteins are present in wine. The most common proteins include thaumatin-like proteins and chitinases and have a role in the formation of turbidity (haze) [1] especially visible in white wine. [2] The quantity of haze forming is dependent on the quantity of phenolics in the wine. [3] Some of those proteins are considered nuisance.
If you're like me, you're probably curious as to how it's made, and what other products contain it (ahem, shampoo). So, prep yourself to truly get to know gelatin, and who knows, maybe you'll ...

Esters: [2] Ethyl acetate is the most common ester in wine, being the product of the most common volatile organic acid — acetic acid, and the ethyl alcohol generated during the fermentation. Norisoprenoids, such as C13-norisoprenoids found in grape (Vitis vinifera) [8] or wine, [9] can be produced by fungal peroxidases [10] or glycosidases. [11]
One Instagram user’s version of “wine pie” has racked up eight million views over the past two weeks, and it’s easy to understand why: Content creator @itsmejuliette pours a bottle of wine ...
Gelatin is generally made from boiling bones or animal hides. That, in turn, breaks down collagen -- which is a protein. Then, that collagen cools and re-forms into -- ta-da! -- gelatin.
