Do you have a source for the 95%?

Gelatine from pigs are used to make the beer seem more clear. Also used in wine. This is done in more than 95% of all the products, and all that are not purchased from speciality stores or on the internet labeled as vegan wine or beer. Just so you know ;) Btw for the op, beer is not vegan nor vegetarian. Gelatine from pigs are used to make the beer seem more clear. Also used in wine.

I'm relieved that you didn't eat at Den Grønne Kælder as you would have been disappointed. I know I was when I first ate there. They microwaved their food!! Maybe I'm a snobby ex-New Yorker transplanted in Copenhagen,but if you charge the equivalent of $30 I do NOT want my food microwaved. And don't even get me started on the only half-cooked beans and flavorless hummus! Morgenstedet is quite good and a bit more affordable. There are a few other veg places which have popped up. I would highly recommend checking out HappyCow.com for other veg restaurants,if traveling to Copenhagen. Also,as she says,bring food with you if you're arriving late! Things close here quite early and even grocery stores are closed between 7 and 8pm. It's not the easiest place to be vegetarian and vegan is even harder. If you're going to be here for longer than a few days,I highly recommend trying to get an apartment so you can cook for yourself. That's the only way I survive here. Oh,and the Turkish places save me every time. They always have great hummus and falafel,if nothing else,as long as you don't mind white pita bread. Copenhagen is slowly moving forward with the veg options,but you still can't find eggless meat substitutes (not that I eat much of those,but for grilling,it's rather disappointing to not have many options). You just have to have patience and do some good homework when visiting. I recommend this when traveling anywhere,really,even when traveling in Europe. The US is highly more evolved with the veg lifestyle.
