Ullo Wine Purifier with 4 Selective Sulfite Filters. Remove Sulfites and Histamines, Restore Taste, Aerate, and Experience the Magic of Ullo purified wine.

Like all professional women in their upper-40s with a spouse and teenagers, I am a BIG FAN of wine. However, I am not a fan of waking up with a headache and a fuzzy brain. My friends and I saw the Ullo on Facebook around the same time and I decided, in the name of science, to try it out for all of us. The other reviews mentioned lower prices outside Amazon, but we live on a military base in Japan with an overseas military address, and the Ullo website would not ship here. At any rate, it arrived yesterday and turned out to be much larger and heavier than I expected. It's about the size of a baseball, and you'll want to be very careful perching it atop your expensive crystal wine glasses. The packaging is sophisticated and attractive, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. I had a little difficulty getting it locked back together after inserting the filter, but by matching the ridges in the filter holder with the ridges on the inside of the black part, it went together easily. I also didn't expect that you're supposed to take a minute or two pouring the wine through the filter. You know how that feels like forever when you're waiting for the microwave to beep? It feels even longer when you're waiting to drink your wine! On the bright side, the necessity of a slow pour kept me from putting away a bottle of wine as quickly as I certainly could, which may lead to somewhat lower consumption than usual. It gave me a minute to think, "Do I really want another glass of wine?"My very first sip tasted a tiny bit weird... I can't explain HOW but this is a wine I drink several times per week and it just tasted a little off, but only on the first sip. Subsequent sips and glasses did not trigger any kind of reaction or awareness to taste. Okay so blah blah blah, I drank a bunch of wine, went to bed, and woke up this morning feeling... (drumroll please)... FINE! I didn't wake up sweaty in the middle of the night and stay awake for 45 minutes, I didn't have a headache in the morning, I didn't feel blurry, and I didn't say "Ugh" when I stood up. This thing really works!Keep in mind that each filter is only good for ONE bottle of wine, and now I'm kind of wishing I bought the white wine carafe to filter the whole thing at once. Replacement filters are a bit spendy, too; if you buy the 10-pack from Amazon you're adding $3.99 to the price of each bottle of wine you consume. Regardless, to enjoy the effects of wine without the consequences is well worth it to me!

Excellent product to remove sulfates from the wine.

So far it is working just as described! No headaches from red wine.I have removed a star as one of the filters was broken and unusable which is disappointing as these are not cheap. The package for the filter was sealed and didn’t appear to have any visible damage but when opened it was broken and not usable.

I love this product. A friend recommended and I can see why.It made the wine taste a little clearer and no headache the next morning. :-)

Great filter for sulfites while providing for "air ageing" of your wine. Can be used with filters for single glasses of wine, or with filters for an entire bottle of wine. We have found that filtering a full bottle of wine into a carafe is a great way to purify with wine for guests as well as for ourselves. If we do not use the entire carafe of wine, the we simply decanter the wine into the original bottle and save it for the next day. Had I to do it over again, I would have ordered the carafe that uses and includes the Ullo Wine Purifier, but even without the Ullo-specific carafe, I have found this is a great way to filter and eliminate the sufiltes from our wine. It has surprised me how much removing the sulfites has improved my reaction to wine. I simply did not know, nor did I feel there was anything about the sulfites that affected me. I find that, for example, if I drink a glass of purified wine after dinner, I sleep better than if I drink an unpurified glass of that same wine. Interesting observation to me.

Works but expensive for filters. Google the item before you purchase from Amazon, some stores are offering it for $30 less. Also, NOT returnable !

A friend who is allergic to sulfates recommended this product to me and I am so happy he did. It really does work. As I got older I started to get a headache after just one glass of red wine. It was disheartening because I really like red wine and I love to go wine tasting. This device has a filter in it that you pour the wine through and it greatly reduces the sulfates in the wine thus also greatly reducing my headaches. The instructions say you need to use a new filter for every bottle of wine, I experimented a bit and found that one filter can last for 2-3 bottles as long as you pour all the bottles within an hour or two, so I do this when friends are over and they all want to try the new filtering system. However, when you let a bottle stand over a full evening, maybe 3 hours or so the filter doesn't work as well for even just one bottle, so in that situation I would just put in a new filter. So, knowing that, it is easy to make this system work for each situation.It is a bit awkward to change the filters until you get the feel for it. And the first replacement filter I used was a bit to thick to fit into the device, I thought it was user error, but when I tried another filter it for perfectly, so it may be that there is some inconsistency in size. I have not run into that problem again.I haven't noticed a change in the taste of the wine and neither have any of my friends who have tried it.It seems to be a well constructed product and it is easy to wash after use. I recommend this product if red wine has been giving you headaches.

So glad I was turned on to this wine filter / aerator from a friend.Most, if not all, wine makers add sulfites to wine for a host of reasons but mostly to prevent spoilage and to prevent bacteria from growing.However, I won’t go as far as to say I’m allergic to sulfur dioxide but I have a pretty nasty reaction if I drink more than one glass of unfiltered red wine. Headache, puffy eyes and nasal issues mostly.Since purchasing the Üllo filter / aerator I can pound a .750ml bottle of my favorite red from Portugal and have zero adverse reaction…well, except for some slight slurring of speech (aka talking in cursive).
