Aren't Tannins Good For Wine?
Yes! There are many tannins in wine that are necessary for the aromas, flavors and health aspects of wine! Drop It® keeps those intact like the heart healthy resveratrol, while reducing the pre-tannins that are unnecessary in young and overly astringent reds. Many of these precipitate out over time, however, Drop It® acts as an instant fining agent!
How does Drop It® differ from products such as the filters and wands?
Drop It® has been independent laboratory and sommelier tested to reduce both sulfites and unnecessary tannins (while keeping heart healthy resveratrol intact) in wine that are known to cause headaches, flushed face, indigestion, and other adverse reactions. The wands and filters however, only target sulfites. Each bottle of Drop It® also treats up to 55 glasses of wine, is pocket sized, discreet and economical! While the wands are single use, expensive and bulky.

Neither of these will be noticeable 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.
