Le Creuset's classic corkscrew is based on their original 1979 self-pulling corkscrew which makes cork removal fast and easy. The original design by prolific inventor Herbert Allen offers a self-pulling corkscrew with the style and ease that wine lovers have come to expect for more than 30 years. ‘Just turn' corkscrews require no pulling from the user, they are effortless and easy to use. Once the screw is wound into the cork, just keep turning in the same direction and the cork will be pulled free. To release the cork simply turn in an anti-clockwise direction.
