Cooking with Kindness is set to host Toronto's Vegan Wine and Cheese Festival, showcasing a number of alternative food and beverage products from local artisans. While many consumers understand that animal-derived cheese cannot be considered vegan, some types of wine may also contain animal-derived fining agents such as milk protein and gelatin. At Vegan Wine and Cheese Fest, consumers will be able to indulge at a vegan food court and sample a variety of locally produced wines.
As well as being able to enjoy a variety of vegan-friendly food and drinks, alongside kitchen demonstrations and talks from vegan entrepreneurs, ticketholders will also feel at ease knowing that a portion of the funds from every ticket sold will go towards supporting the local nonprofit Wishing Well Sanctuary.

Trend Themes
1. Vegan Wine - Increasing demand for animal-free wine is presenting opportunities for innovative winemakers to create new vegan-friendly product lines.
2. Alternative Food and Beverage - As consumers are becoming more conscious of what they consume, there is a growing demand for cruelty-free food and beverages, creating opportunities for entrepreneurs to create alternative product lines.
3. Sustainable Agriculture - As veganism becomes more popular, there is an opportunity for sustainable agriculture businesses that reduce negative environmental impacts and meet the growing demand for plant-based food.
Industry Implications
1. Wine - Winemakers and vineyards can capitalize on the growing demand for vegan wine by eliminating animal-derived fining agents from their production processes.
2. Food - Food producers and chefs who offer cruelty-free alternatives to traditional animal-derived products can tap into the growing demand for alternative food and beverage options.
3. Non-profit - Non-profit organizations can build on veganism's compassionate ethos to work towards animal welfare and sustainability initiatives, while attracting support and collaborative partnerships from conscious consumers.
