Simply yes. It depends on the person. It has nothing(as has been pointed out) to do with the quality but more the variety. Your shiraz & cabernet syles seem to especially do it. Personally I found it embarrassing, I would sometimes brush my teeth part way through a big night, also scraping my lips with my finger nail on some occasions. I've even brush my lips with a toothbrush. In the end I happily discovered sauvignon blanc & viognier, no such worries with whites.

To swill wine properly, very little wrist movement is actually needed. Just very slight circular movements combined with a right-left movement should do the trick. The idea behind all this swilling is to bring the wine's aroma out of the wine itself and into the empty part of the bowl thus allowing it to be smelled and savoured. This is why wine glasses are bulbous. The wide bowl has ample room for swilling while the narrow edge 'captures' the bouquet. Clever, eh? Move your glass to your nose as elegantly as you're able and bring it in slightly beneath the tip. Inhale deeply. Savour for a few moments and then inhale again. It's a good idea to exhale between those two inhalations or you might find yourself going dizzy. Do it too often and you'll faint. You may now move your glass away from your nose. At this point, it's appropriate to make some kind of comment. Don't imagine you'll fool anybody into believing you're an expert but at least you can make it sound as if you've actually drunk a glass of decent wine before. Why should the other guests need to know that most of your wine costs £3.99 at the Co-Op? Something like "mmmm, rich and fruity" or "oooh, lovely and light" will probably do the trick. When talking about red wine, 'rich' is usually a good word to use - if the wine's white, go for 'light'.

I don't know about the lips, but wine can cause the purplish-black stain on the tongue. It's called hairy tongue.

If you drink enough, your tongue and lips go deep purple. Take some Milk Thistle, drink lots of water, vow never to do it again, but even if you don't do all those things, your tonogue and lips will return to their normal color after a while.

Yes, and it has nothing to do with the quality of the wine. It has to do with the amount of tannin in the wine. Beetroot and red cabbage have a similar effect on me.

It can make them go dark purple if you drink a lot of it - especially if you go to bed without cleaning your teeth afterwards.
