How to Remove a Glass Stain From a Varnished Table

Coasters protect varnished wooden tables from glass stains. Glass stains occur when condensation from the glass runs down the glass and gets soaked up by the wood. This makes the varnish bubble up. You can repair some glass stains easily, but if the process doesn't work, you will probably have to refinish the entire table. Does this Spark an idea?
