Whether you're celiac, gluten-intolerant, or just trying to avoid wheat, it’s natural to ask: is gin gluten-free? The answer is more straightforward than you think — but with one key thing to look for. Here’s what to know about gluten in gin and how to sip safely.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration allows distilled spirits — including gin — to be labeled gluten-free, even if they were originally made from gluten-containing grains. As long as no gluten is added after distillation (like in flavorings or additives), it’s safe for those avoiding gluten.
