There is no reason to if you have the plastic or wood like the other poster
said but I know in brewing it is a constant debate and after 50 replies
there are usually 50 theories and no definitive answer. Simply stirring a
wine I don't see how but it is true that if you just use a plastic stirrer
it avoids the whole issue. If you don't have a plastic stirrer, just use
the alum one which I have done when I first started and realized half way
through I hadn't anything to stir with. It didn't turn purple or poison me
so I would say it's better than not stirring at all.
