Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So I have been a big fan of wines and enjoy the socially and special occasions. My favorite are reds (Cabs, Blends,). I researched on something that could make the experience of drinking wine that was young or sweeter without the consequences of the headache and sensitivity to sulfates. Enter ULLO, which I purchased 3 weeks ago. Here is my own subjective review of this interesting wine accessory: IMO It Does In Fact filter sulfates and the dozen or so bottles we used our ULLO on sweet to semi-dry wines that we served at social events and smaller gatherings did not give guests or us traditionally headaches or even individual reactions to those sensitive to wine. Net is they enjoyed drinking the wine and were pleasantly surprised by the ULLO process and how it transformed the wine. Transform the wine? How So?: By reducing or eliminating the sulfates a majority of people have sensitivity to AND also improving for the majority of the wines the taste. Wines BEST SUITED for ULLO: Sweet, Semi-Sweet, White and Very Young Reds. All improved with filtering via ULLO Wines NOT SUITED for ULLO: Any Mature Reds, Vintage Port, and any sparking effervescent wines. ULLO does not help here IMO on the taste and very little sulfates are traditionally even present. On the Sparking wines the ULLO will completely neutralize the effervescence and leave a flat taste. USE of ULLO: Easy instructions if you pay attention to the simple directions. Option to Aerate or Non Aerate by rotating the plastic bezel on the ULLO. I would aerate the young red and sweet wines and seemed to improve the overall taste. CLEANING very simple by taking apart the base and removing the filter and quick wash and rinse and your good to go SOME THINGS WE LEARNED AFTER MULTIPLE USES OF ULLO: You have to make sure that you are careful opening the ULLO filters as they are delicate and tearing the package open can catch a edged of the filter ripping it and making it useless. Just gently shake the filter in the package and then open and you will not have this issue. Place the filter with the canted bottom in the filter and make sure it seats well. Then attach the base and you are good to go. Using the ULLO you can place it over your glass or even over a decanter. Be advised as other reviewers noted it does take 3 to 5 minutes to filter the wine so a slower process. The Filters: Yes Expensive, Yes only recommended 1 Filter for 1 Bottle or 750ML. Yes adds $3.00 to a bottle of wine as other users feedback on the overall filter cost. However at lease in our experience we were able to rinse the filter (cool water gently rinsing) and were able to use it on another bottle of wine with no after effects. This is not recommended by ULLO but we did have success in stretching the life of the filter. You will have varied opinions on how ULLO alters the taste of the wines. It does change the taste in our opinion but it is a taste improvement. That is why it should not be used for the higher cost, aged reds, ports etc. Those are best enjoyed after you decant or aerate to appreciate the wine flavor. Overall Verdict: You be the judge. If you are heavily into your wine, frequently consume or socially entertain with the higher sulfate traditionally lower cost sweet, semi or young red wines and are sensitive to sulfates and their impact then this is a good solution. Realizing the cost upfront and frequency of use will be you largest decision and knowing ULLO is not for ALL wines. Also, you can purchase the filters directly on Amazon or I have seen them stocked at Best Buy. Frankly I have not seen anything that can minimize or vastly reduce sulfates like ULLO does and many people that had to refrain from enjoying wine can now do so with this product.
