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.”
