The innovation that removes sulfites from wine: Ullo is born.

Raise your hand if you haven't looked into the sulfite-free discussion and who wouldn't want to "remove" them from wine!

On the Indiegogo platform, approximately 157% of the investment needed to fund Ullo has just been reached: the device that declares war on sulfites in wine.

According to its creators, a wine without sulfites is better because it avoids headaches and reduces hangover symptoms. Ullo is capable of purifying any wine.

It seems that many wine enthusiasts are sensitive to sulfites, which are however necessary to help preserve the nectar.

Ullo, thanks to Selective Sulfite Capture™, a porous food-grade polymer filter, selectively removes sulfites and sediments.

According to the "inventors," sulfites have a bitter flavor and some tasters (mistakenly) attribute this taste to the wine itself, even praising it on occasion.

Good thing there's Ullo!

Also capable of aerating the wine if desired; Ullo works with various wine glasses, carafes, or decanters.

James Kornacki, the founder, enlisted a team of designers, engineers, and wine lovers to bring to life a product so carefully crafted aesthetically as well.

$200,000 from Capital Angels and approximately $150,000 from crowdfunding via Kickstarter… and now another $197,000 from Indiegogo: quite the appetite!

The question naturally arises though – is it worth it? Do they really understand the implications of sulfites and the foods that contain them? If we had the opportunity, we would certainly invite them to read our guide. Would you buy it?
