Wine Naps Towelettes

 

Red wine stains are caused by the tannins found in wines. Tannin is a natural occurring vegetable dye found in many plants especially grape skin, tea leaves, bark and stalk of vegetation. They are particularly present in red wines hence, the grape skins and seeds. Wines matured in wooden casks with high tannin content can also give rise to tannin content in wine. Tannins are what give a bitter taste to wine and make your mouth dry. To avoid red wine stains, you could try wines with low tannin content. Beajolais, Pinot Noirs and Merlots are some of the reds with low tannin content. Burgundy and Chianti range from low to medium tannin content while Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz would have high tannin content. For the Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz drinkers, use WineNaps™ to remove these stains. It is not recommended to brush your teeth after drinking red wine due to open pores.
