I love wine and Welsh makers....
I rarely don't finish a bottle though so not sure how much use I'd get out of this. Maybe this could be for me to start weekday drinking 🤔

@bentossell Haha! I'm thinking of it the other way. It will help me justify not finishing the bottle. I've definitely been guilty in the past of thinking "well, there's only one or two glasses left, so I may as well....."
The idea for eto came about because we found we were opening several bottles white, red & rose but not finishing them on the same day. When we came back to them they tasted vinegary despite trying out the storage devices on the market.
So after a bit of research we came across the method of decanting into a smaller vessel so no wine was in contact with the air. Getting an old water bottle filling it wine & squeezing it until there is no air - is messy & not really what having 'a relaxing glass of wine' is about!
So Tom the (Welsh) product designer set about creating eto: a beautiful innovation in wine preservation, ensuring you never waste a drop of wine again.
Further research over the years has shown in the UK alone we pour 50 million litres of wine down the drain which equates to £270 million (WRAP Government study) - in a time where food & drink are getting more expensive!
How does this differ from vacuum bottle stoppers? Those things are fantastic, but I do like the idea of this performing as a decanter too.
And well done for getting me talking about wine products at 9.14 a.m. on a Wednesday.
@stevenjmesser with eto when you push down the neck to meet the wine you can physically feel 100% seal against the wine so can be assured no air is still trapped in there oxidising the wine. At eto HQ wine is a 24/7 topic of conversation! Iechyd da!
@stevenjmesser In terms of ‘end results’ - check out the 'Laboratory testing' on the Kickstarter page - and also the 'blind tasting' tests performed with wine experts.
@bitoftlc & @dinajahina, diolch yn fawr! You've answered my question perfectly. From the data it looks as though this really will perform better, so I've pledged. Can't wait to give it a go, and very proud to support a British business.
