Finally easy pull corks, proven in use for over two years. Had executed with other corkscrews quite a few corks and residues have landed in the wine - it does not happen more with the Brabantia. It's nice sturdy, sits well on the bottle neck and is nicely centered purely in the cork. With little effort, the spiral cut by turns clockwise into the cork and pulls him out - turned counterclockwise it releases the cork after it is out of the bottle out. Very convenient is also the film / foil cutter on the handle. The operation becomes intuitive and (no kidding) with eyes closed easily doable. Clear 5 Stars!
