“Purifying your wine is the best way for you to get rid of sulfites, which are artificial preservatives responsible for headaches and hangovers. Üllo’s signature Wine Purifier reduces these side effects and eliminates that bitter taste these preservatives leave behind using Selective Sulfite Capture™ technology and an adjustable aerator. Enjoy your favorites to the fullest with fewer consequences. Bonus points: It’s sized to fit directly on top of a variety of wine glasses, making this bar tool the perfect gift for wine snobs.”
