As weird as it sounds, there may be animal products in your booze, either added directly or used in the filtering process. Things like honey, dairy, egg, gelatin or isinglass (fish bladder) are used. But there are still plenty of vegan options.
This list will give you some readily available choices, or check out Barnivore.
