Stupid Q- Gluten-free question

Are the following gluten free?

1. Red wine?

2. Beer/Guinness (this one I'm assuming is not gluten free...)

I don't know about red wine but you can find some GF beers.

Lurking, bc I LOVE your mb!  It is food porn for me.  Wine can be debatable, sometimes it is aged in barrels that are "gluten contaminated", I would look up and research a specific brand.  Most beer on the shelf is not gluten free.  For a dark beer, you can get Greens Dubbel Dark, I dont know if its as dark as Guiness lovers like, but DH swears by it.

1. Some red wines will be labeled GF; we've just operated on the belief that they're safe for DH since he's not truly GF--just wheat free.

2. Beer is not GF. Like, ever. Unless it's a GF beer. A simple, keep-in-the-fridge brand is Red Bridge; many mainstream stores are carrying it now. We can find it at our grocery store. Other GF options are becoming more available now, but they are usually pricier and harder to find.

Guinness is supposedly wheat free, but not necessarily GF because it has something else (barley?) in it. DH and his pal had a discussions about this on Sunday. I forget the bottom line, but it's an often-debated subject.
