What happens if you consume the small precipitant particles left in the glass?

The tannins may precipitate to the bottom of the glass. They have protein now bound to them which is why they precipitate out. The sulfites may sometimes either be clear or whitish crystals. You should not notice them on your palate. You can either consume them or discard the wine at the bottom of the glass. If you see lots of particulates it means your Drop It is doing its very best to treat a wine very high in sulfites or tannins.
