FAQ & Allergens
Allergen information for everything we sell, plus answers to the questions we get asked most often.
Allergen Information
We take allergens seriously. If you have an allergy or intolerance, please tell us before you buy and we will help you find something safe to eat.
Written allergen information is available for all products we sell. Ask at the counter, or email info@rindsandvines.com before you visit.
Milk
All of our cheeses contain milk. This applies to every product on the cheese counter, including soft, semi-soft, hard, and blue varieties. There are no dairy-free cheeses in our range.
Please be aware that our counter handles multiple cheeses simultaneously. Cross-contamination between varieties cannot be ruled out.
The 14 Major Allergens
Under UK food law, the following 14 allergens must be declared when present in food. Some of our products contain or may contain one or more of these. Always ask us if you are unsure.
Wine & Sulphites
All wine contains naturally occurring sulphites. Most wines also have sulphites added as a preservative. While we stock many low-sulphite and zero-addition natural wines, no wine we sell can be guaranteed sulphite-free.
If you have a sulphite sensitivity, please ask us and we will point you towards the bottles in our range with the lowest addition levels.
Cheese Club & Allergens
Every Cheese Club box contains a selection of cheeses chosen by our cheesemongers. The contents vary from month to month. Each box includes a card listing the cheeses included, along with allergen information for each one.
All cheeses in the Cheese Club contain milk. Some cheeses may also contain egg (certain washed-rind varieties use egg-based washes) or other allergens depending on the selection that month.
If you have a specific allergen concern that affects whether you can safely subscribe, email us before subscribing at info@rindsandvines.com and we will advise you honestly.

Mostly British farmhouse cheeses and European classics. Everything we stock is bought from producers we know. We are happy to tell you about any cheese on the counter: the farm, the maker, the milk, the process.
