Isn’t it interesting having a gadget that could let you drink wine and will also prevent you from getting the risk of hangover? Yes, folks, you heard that right. A new gadget in the UK has gone on a sale promising to reduce the risk of a hangover after drinking.
About the gadget and its functions
The Üllo wine purifier, an American company, is promising to reduce the risk of hangover. It not only removes the distinctly bitter taste that could be found in some wines but it also certainly help the drinkers to avoid the next morning’s wine hangover.
This gadget is developed by an American entrepreneur James Kornacki. This gadget works by removing sulfites from the wine, which are just added preservatives. Even though sulfites help to prevent bacterial spoilage and oxidation of the wine during storage and transportation, they are no longer needed once the bottle is opened. A product tester was thankful that the wine purifier gadget was able to eliminate her hangover. In fact, in an interview, she stated: “I was able to consume two full glasses of red wine and developed no headache, something I hadn’t been able to do in a very long time.” However, researchers are doubtful about the usefulness of the gadget.
What does sulfite do
Some wine lovers have claimed that they are sensitive to sulfites, and sulfites can trigger allergic reactions to them. Many people think of sulfites being the main problem as they have seen “contains sulfites” phrase on the wine labels since the late 1900s. However, a headache specialist and associate professor at the Medical College claims that tannins and tyramine could be the main culprits. Kornacki, the brain behind the invention, who holds a doctorate in chemistry, was inspired to create the product after he learned about his aunt being intolerant to sulfites. He then made his very own Selective Sulfite Capture technology that acts as a magnet to pull out the sulfites without disturbing any other compounds of the wine. He later also patented this technology.
Ending note
It needs to be noted that the cause of the wine hangover should not be credited to just sulfite. While it seems intriguing, there is a possibility that the future might get a whole lot more peachy for oenophilia everywhere, as said that every choice comes with a consequence. This startup claiming their latest wine purifying gadget is hoped to make it easier to strip out those headache-inducing compounds and make your favorite drink more enjoyable. You can find this gadget online and start enjoying your favorite wine today.
