Founders & Mission
WineBlock was founded in 2016 by Brenda Kirkpatrick and Lauren Calabrese who like many others, suffer from red wine lips and teeth (aka wine mouth), that occurs when drinking red wine.
Researching ways to end wine mouth resulted in finding no preventative solution in the marketplace and giving up drinking red wine or drinking it through a straw, is not a viable option.
The founders of WineBlock want to order their beloved red wine and consume it without the fear of looking like a zombie or like we’ve consumed an entire bottle of red after only one glass. The long-term staining effect of red wine is also a concern. The acids in the wine (both red and white) can wear down the enamel on your teeth and the colorful tannins and dyes (in some wines) can cause staining. Brenda and Lauren set out on a mission to end the embarrassment of wine mouth, and one year later, a product was born.

How it Works
