Ullo Wine Purifier with Hand-Blown Carafe and 6 Sulfite Filters – Removes Sulfites and Histamines

This works! Seriously, I have horrifying migraines with sulphites and have been looking for this miracle all my adult life. Is it perfect? No, it takes me 6 minutes to pour a bottle of wine and I have to change out the filter for each bottle so it is not cheap. But does it work? YES!!! No more migraines! In that respect, it is worth every penny. Some people state it make the wine taste different and it does, the lack of sulphites make the wine taste better. MUCH Better! It actually makes the wine taste like what it supposed to taste like and more like expensive European wines. I love the carafe as it makes the filtering process easier than just trying to perch the Ullo over a glass. I've done that too and it works but after a glass or two, it gets a little harder and I've broken a couple of glasses that way trying to pour it slow. The carafe is beautiful, thick and substantial. Definitely attractive enough to put out at a nice dinner party. Very happy with this purchase!

This lovely gadget with a filter that purportedly removes sulfites from wines is a welcome addition to the arsenal of those of us who are highly allergic to bisulfites. I am grateful to the chemist who decided that he/she could help an aunt with the allergy. An improvement, would be the ability to re-charge the filter rather than having to re-order a supply of them every now and then. The filter gadget together with the upright container makes it easy to filter a whole bottle. The shape of this unusual decanter allows easy dishwashing and reuse. We have found no difference in the taste of the wine after filtering. In fact, the aeration generally improved the wine.

I have used and given these Ullo filters as gifts for over a year and am impressed with their effectiveness. It does NOT change the flavor of the wine. This set is practical and the wide mouth decanter is easy to use with the filter. I have always enjoyed red wine but have pinpointed a sensitivity to the sulfates/sulfites in the red wines in particular. They are used to clean barrels and preserve wines and can cause a headache for me before the night is even over. When I decant my wine through these filters I don’t have that issue, it’s miraculous! There are also stirrers that are easy to bring along to dinners out.

I purchased this as a gift for my wife who loves wine, but sulfates make her sick. The filter works awesome and I would recommend it to anyone who drinks wine. I would give this set five stars except for the fact the the carafe has a very sharp edge and I cut my hand every time I wash it. It looks very nice and the set works well together.

Does not remove sulfites, I used this on a bottle of wine (Italy wine that doesn't add any)that had no added sulfites ( i know all wines have natural sulfites) but after using three different filters on same bottle absolutely nothing was removed, actually it showed higher sulfites than our country approves, so this is a complete waste of money and effort it took in trying to remove.

While I like the idea of sulfite removal, the filtration process is painfully slow. It could take 15 - 20 minutes to filter a single bottle of wine, and because you can only pour in a small amount at a time, you're standing over the filter for the entire process. Without the filter -- aeration mode only -- the pour-through is faster, but it isn't great, and you're still stuck pouring in a small amount at a time. Finally, the carafe itself doesn't pour very well. There's always a drip or two after each glass is filled. For the money, I'd expect a carafe with a properly designed lip to promote a clean pour. It works, but it doesn't work nearly as well as it should for the money.

In my late 30s and have started to struggle with red wine. Mild allergic type reactions like puffy lips and bad headaches. I have filtered wine through this on 4 separate occasions and have had zero allergic type side effects from my red wine (no matter the varietal) the day after. Will never drink my reds without this again. This filter is amazing!

Carafe is beautiful. But the filtering system didn’t work well, to the point after 10 mins of it drip-dripping the wine into the carafe I gave up and poured the rest of the bottle into my glass and called it a day. Wine was lukewarm by then, started out cold. Can’t say if it would have helped with preventing a headache or not. But when I want a glass of wine, I want it now, not in 10-15 mins when it has become warm. Sending it back.

Estoy muy contenta con el producto, pero me he llevado una gran desilusion al comprobar que una de las 6 bolsitas de los filtros estaba VACIA!!! Hoy he abierto la última, y la bolsita del filtro estaba rota!!!

Exactly as expected. Great filter. Only disappointment is the cost of the filters

Not at all worth $200. This product has the right idea but the current design is heavily flawed! Firstly for what it is constructed of it should be fairly valued at half the price they're asking. Secondly the filter is painfully slow to the point where flow is reduced to a mere dribble. Thirdly it is very messy and fiddly not a good thing when you're dealing with RED WINE. Lastly the replacement filter price is beyond a joke being that it is essentially tiny bits of plastic which catch sulfites. Only positive thing I can say is I didn't get any headaches.

My wife started to have an allergy to the nitrates in wine meaning if she drank a glass, normally red, she would start to get congested and start sneezing, having used this twice, just in case once was a fluke, I can honestly say that I'm amazed it works so effectively. Even for myself who doesn't have a reaction to nitrates I find that t once the wine is run through the filter is is definitely more palatable. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who is starting to feel a reaction to wine

I had done quite a bit of research before buying this product as it is expensive but I was not disappointed. I love a glass of wine but have terrible wine headaches if I have a couple of glasses. With the filter the wine tastes so much smoother and cleaner and no headache. Only disappointment, it comes with 6 filters and 2 of my packets were already empty! Very annoying. I have sent 2 as Christmas presents so hope they have the full set of filters in.
