Are Wine Wipes genius or just another gimmick?

Drinkers of red wine can either rejoice or cringe at a new product called Wine Wipes. After a swipe across your teeth, these petite wet wipes are supposed to get rid of that deep red film that can stain your pearly whites -- and spoil your looks -- after you’ve had a couple sips.

The wipes come in small tins with mirrors and resemble makeup compacts. Each wipe has a mild orange flavor meant to help cleanse the palate. Our Daily Dish blog has more details.

Not sure if the wipes will do better than a good old-fashioned napkin, but they could be one more reason to smile big, and pour another glass.
