What is a Ullo Wine Purifier?

 

A Ullo Wine Purifier is a filtration system that removes sulfites from wine. The innovative design is developed by a Chicago startup with a simple mission ‘to bring wine back to its natural state’. James Kornacki, founder, and CEO of Ullo, founded the brand because his aunt was sulfite-sensitive, and, therefore, couldn’t enjoy wine at family get-togethers. He wanted to create a filtration system that allowed everyone to enjoy wine in its natural state, without the artificial sulfites that were added as a preservative.

What are sulfites?

 

Sulfites are artificial chemicals, added to wine blends to act as a preservative and prevent spoilage. Sulfites protect wines against oxidation and bacterial spoiling during shipping and storage, but actually, lose their worth once you’ve opened a bottle. Once they’ve served their purpose, there is no need for them to remain in your glass when the wine is poured, which is where the Ullo Wine Purifier comes in.

Do note though, that for most wine enthusiasts, sulfites are not an issue. As a common food preservative, they are highly regulated, meaning you don’t have to worry about them being harmful. However, some people can suffer from sulfite-sensitivity, which may lead to health issues when consuming larger amounts of this artificial chemical.

How does a Ullo Purifier work?

 

The magic of the Ullo is all about its state-of-the-art filter. The fancy technology, dubbed Selective Sulfite Capture Filtration, captures free sulfites in wine by a reaction called ‘covalent attachment’. We won’t bore you with all the scientific details, but take it from us: it’s wine chemistry that works. The covalent attachment means that the most reactive components of your wine, the sulfites, stick to the filter. All the other goodness of your vino simply flows through in your glass, carafe, or decanter. This Selective Sulfite Capture™ is what makes Ullo stand out from other filtration brands on the market.

 

Filter replacement

 

Do note that each Ullo Filter is good for one bottle of wine (750ml). After usage, sulfites will not be able to fully bind with the filter anymore, meaning that you can’t keep reusing the same filter over and over again. So, before opening a new bottle, also open and attach a new filter in your Ullo device, which is easily done in just a few simple steps. Filters are available to order separately, allowing you to keep the magic going for many sulfite-free drinking sessions to come.

Does the Ullo Wine Purifier affect the taste of wine?

 

To be frank: yes, it will most likely affect the taste of your wines. Sulfites can have a slightly bitter taste. So, when filtered, the overall flavor experience of your wine may be altered.

Now, let’s get one thing straight: there is absolutely nothing wrong with sulfites in wine. Nor should you think that wines with sulfites are inferior. However, some wine enthusiast do prefer the taste of wines in their natural state, as, without sulfate, other aromas do tend to come through more.

ULLO Sulfite Capture Filter, 10 CT

The Ullo Sulfite Capture Filter 10-Pack contains 10 filters, needed to let the purification system work its magic. Each filter purifies 1 standard bottle of wine (750ml). After you’ve finished the bottle, simply remove and replace the filter of your Ullo Purifier. Voila: you’re ready to pour once more.

According to Ullo: ‘Sulfites bind irreversibly to the filter and therefore once a filter becomes saturated with sulfites it can no longer bind additional sulfites from wine’. Or, to put simply, the filter stops removing sulfates. Which is kind of the whole point of using it in the first place, right? And that is exactly why, if you’re looking to indulge yourself with a Ullo purifier, you should also stock up on some additional filters.

The filters are also available in a 6-pack and come individually packaged in sachets to ensure maximum longevity and safe shipment.

Verdict

 

A Ullo Wine Purifier can be a great investment if you either have sulfate-sensitivity, or simple like your wines pure and natural. A bit of an indulgence, the innovative device does come with a bit of a price-tag. Plus, as you’ll need to replace the filters with each bottle, the costs can quickly add up.

We would therefore not recommend this design for ALL wine drinkers, as it’s more optional than essential. That said, it is one of the most innovative, and highly-rated purifiers on the market. So if you are looking for a way to filter the sulfites from wine: this may be your top choice. Plus, with the fancy wine accessories packs, such as the decanter or carafe set, it’s hard to resist its futuristic appeal and aesthetics.

If you want it pure AND love contemporary design, the Ullo Wine Purifier is pretty much as good as it gets!
