Like all professional women in their upper-40s with a spouse and teenagers, I am a BIG FAN of wine. However, I am not a fan of waking up with a headache and a fuzzy brain. My friends and I saw the Ullo on Facebook around the same time and I decided, in the name of science, to try it out for all of us. The other reviews mentioned lower prices outside Amazon, but we live on a military base in Japan with an overseas military address, and the Ullo website would not ship here. At any rate, it arrived yesterday and turned out to be much larger and heavier than I expected. It's about the size of a baseball, and you'll want to be very careful perching it atop your expensive crystal wine glasses. The packaging is sophisticated and attractive, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. I had a little difficulty getting it locked back together after inserting the filter, but by matching the ridges in the filter holder with the ridges on the inside of the black part, it went together easily. I also didn't expect that you're supposed to take a minute or two pouring the wine through the filter. You know how that feels like forever when you're waiting for the microwave to beep? It feels even longer when you're waiting to drink your wine! On the bright side, the necessity of a slow pour kept me from putting away a bottle of wine as quickly as I certainly could, which may lead to somewhat lower consumption than usual. It gave me a minute to think, "Do I really want another glass of wine?"
My very first sip tasted a tiny bit weird... I can't explain HOW but this is a wine I drink several times per week and it just tasted a little off, but only on the first sip. Subsequent sips and glasses did not trigger any kind of reaction or awareness to taste. Okay so blah blah blah, I drank a bunch of wine, went to bed, and woke up this morning feeling... (drumroll please)... FINE! I didn't wake up sweaty in the middle of the night and stay awake for 45 minutes, I didn't have a headache in the morning, I didn't feel blurry, and I didn't say "Ugh" when I stood up. This thing really works!
Keep in mind that each filter is only good for ONE bottle of wine, and now I'm kind of wishing I bought the white wine carafe to filter the whole thing at once. Replacement filters are a bit spendy, too; if you buy the 10-pack from Amazon you're adding $3.99 to the price of each bottle of wine you consume. Regardless, to enjoy the effects of wine without the consequences is well worth it to me!
