The wine wasn’t drunk because it wasn’t vegan. End of. I find it weird to say that you were amused though.
Had it been a dinner party for coeliac sufferers and a wheat item was discovered, that too would have been treated like a live bomb, but I’m guessing that wouldn’t be as funny due it being a medical rather than ethical issue?
The most important thing, I think, is to respect other people’s life choices without assimilating or mocking them. I know you guys eat eggs from your own chooks and consider that to be part of your definition of veganism, but I’m sorry to say that a vegan lifestyle is black and white: no animal products at all. Plant based is another matter and might not tickle you so much.
Not being deliberately obtuse here or asking for a “#cba” response, just suggesting that a more empathic approach might be better.
