[eto] Wine Breather (Stainless steel)

FAQ

1.How does eto work?

When you open a bottle of wine oxygen mixes with air and starts oxidation. Too much oxidation ruins any wine. 

eto's unique, patented preservation system creates a seal between the wine and the air, reducing your wine’s exposure to oxygen, slowing down the oxidation process and keeping its great taste for longer.

2.How long will wine keep in eto?

eto keeps your wine for up to 2 weeks. 

Every wine is different, so the exact length of time depends on the wine’s age, style, grape variety, the wine making method, how vigorously you decant etc. 

Wine keeps for longer stored in a cool dark place.

3.What is the maximum and minimum amount of you can keep in eto?

eto has been designed so that when you fully extend the neck you can decant a standard 750ml bottle into eto, have a glass or 2 & then store the remainder  - so you can store a maximum of 600ml (20oz) & a minimum of 175ml (6oz).

4.Can I store eto on its side in my wine fridge?

eto has been designed to be kept upright and may not seal if you put it on its side.

eto fits perfectly in a fridge door.  Wine keeps for longer stored in a cool dark place - wine experts recommend keeping your wine (even red wine) in the fridge.

5.Can I store sparkling wine in my eto?

No you can’t keep sparkling wine in eto because the pressure build up is too much.  

eto has been designed for all still wines including fortified wines.

7.Can I put eto in the dishwasher?

8.What is the small black pouch for?

etos now come with a breathable pouch to store your seals & ball holder when not in use to help reduce any strong odours.  It’s the perfect cloth to shine your eto & keep it smudge free.

9.I can't unscrew the glass base from the metal parts.

Sometimes the metal parts contract when cold. 

You can try soaking your eto in warm water, or placing it under the hot tap for a few seconds, dry, then try again. This should  do the trick.

You can also use rubber gloves for extra grip. 

Remember too, there's no need to over-tighten the top part to the base, as that has no impact on the seal.
