Product Review : the Wand – Best way to prevent hangover (and wine allergies)

Sulfites and histamines are the main triggers for wine ALLERGIES. 

Histamines are created during the process of fermentation, within the wine. They can come from the grapes, yeasts, sulfites and ethanol. 

Sulfites are also in wine naturally or can be added to stabilize the wine, which is useful during long transportation for example. But, when too much, they can be the cause to the next day’s HEADACHE… (if you’re still sceptic, compare an evening of drinking common wines to an evening of drinking only natural wines… – quick reminder : natural wines have way LESS sulfites in them-)

So, if you are subject to these wine allergies, how can YOU enjoy wine? What is the BEST way to prevent hangover and these wine allergies?

This is where the PureWine® WAND steps in! In two words : it is a single-use FILTER attached to a wand that you put in a glass of wine to REMOVE histamines and sulfites. (I actually feel like I’m putting a teabag into my glass wine…feels weird)

Name: THE WAND

Company: PureWine®

Lowest Price (for an 8-pack) : $23.97 (Amazon.com)

Overall Rank: 9/10

How do you use THE WAND ?

Remove the wand from the wrapper. Pour a glass of wine (~6oz) and put the wand in the wine. Stir it gently and after 8 minutes, 95% of the histamines and sulfites can be removed. 

You can leave it longer, the purifying effect will then continue.

The wand comes with wine charms, that can easily be twisted of the handle and attached to the rim or the stem of your glass. This helps recognizes whose glass it is while at a party for instance! And it also brings a natural chic to your glass of wine

And the best part is : you can use it on all types of wines! (still or sparkling and the three colours!)

How does THE WAND work?

Through a PATENTED PureWine® filter technology, it removes histamines and sulfites in wine.

The patented blend of ion exchange resins is able to remove the oxidized components in wine that can cause the bitter, undesired taste when wine has been exposed to oxygen for too long. Wine can be “revived”!

Should YOU test THE WAND?

No one wants to either miss out on a glass of wine nor on the pleasure of sharing a wine bottle… With this tool, people with allergies can enjoy wine again without the side-effect!

It’s very small so you can easily put it in your handbag and use it on the go.

We’ve all been guilty of throwing wine away because it had been open to long. The WAND can restore a wine to its original state, by removing the oxidized components. No more throwing away!

However, unfortunately, it is single-use (although, as you will read below, it can be used two to three times) and if you use it for every single wine of glass you drink, it would increase the price of the glass of wine, but perhaps you needn’t use it for every single glass.

Other Reviews – what do other people think?

Mel talks about her at-home experience of The Wand. She tested drinking two glasses fof wine with the same wand and the headache never came. The next day, she tried one glass with the the wand and one without, and “later that evening, the calipers returned”

Her conclusion: “So it’s hard to say for certain whether PureWine prevented my headache or whether it just wasn’t in the cards the first day, but the fact that a headache appeared the following day after a glass of the same wine makes me think that PureWine does indeed work. […] I realized that $2.50 is worth it — especially if it allows me to continue buying $3 wines. “

All in all, I think this product is worth a try! It doesn’t change the taste of the wine (some even says it enhances it and I do agree with them) and your tomorrow is a headache-free day. 

I find this tool to be revolutionary for people with allergies. I have a friend who loves wine but, for a few years, would sneeze when drinking wine. The Wand changed that.

And the best part : it comes in pink, red, silver and gold!

So go pick your color and let me know in the comments which one you took!
