1. Ullo Wine Purifier with 4 Selective Sulfite Capture Filters

Restore the natural quality of wine

Take a look at this clever purifier from Ullo, if you’re shopping for a health nut who also loves a glass of wine!

So, how does it work?

Sulfites are added during the production process, however the wine doesn’t actually need them and they impact on the flavor.

Placing this purifier on the top of the glass captures the sulfites, resulting in a wine that tastes as fresh as it does at the vineyard.

You can also use it as an aerator, which you can switch on and off easily.

People suffering from headaches after a glass or two of red wine, were amazed at how effectively this product works. Plus they felt the wine tasted so much better.
