Wine Tasters, Beware

Wine tasters may be at high risk for enamel stain and erosion.

Why? Sipping wine many times a day -- and swishing it in the mouth -- increases the enamel's exposure to damaging acids.

That’s why it's better to drink a glass of wine, soda, or sweet tea with a meal instead of sipping it over several hours.
