Scientists warn white wines can rot your teeth

While red wine drinkers know it can leave stains on your teeth, scientists have now warned that white wine can be even worse.

Studies have found that - while they won't stain them - pale wines like a Riesling or a Chardonnay can ROT your teeth.

This is said to happen because they have a low pH value and wear away the protective tooth enamel, claim boffins from Johannes Gutenberg University in Germany.

They tested this by soaking a range of teeth in various wine for 24 hours before comparing the effects. Red wines caused far less enamel damage.

However there is 'some' good news for white wine fans - apparently eating cheeses as you drink could help counter the effects, because of the calcium levels.
