Wines that don’t stain the teeth

Wine and teethOne of the major problems that wine lovers face almost every time they drink a glass of their favorite brand is teeth staining. Especially after drinking red wines, teeth get a red or purplish look because of the natural dye and tannin used in the preparation of fine wines. Now we don’t expect you to quit your wine drinking habit just for the sake of your teeth. However, if you are tired of the red discoloration your teeth each time you have a glass, then we have mentioned a few good wine alternatives that you can try. It’s definitely better than using wine wipes every time.

1. Riesling:

If you are serious about preventing teeth stains, then white wine is the way to go. This is why we have mentioned the famed German-made Riesling at the top of our list. Made from the finest of white grapes, this wine goes well with the German staple dish of pork and braised vegetables.

2. Muscat:
