Abstract (en)
The invention refers to a drip-catcher (10) for insertion into a neck of a bottle for enabling drip-free pouring of liquid from said bottle, the drip-catcher (10) consisting of a piece (12) of resilient flexible sheet material, which for insertion into said bottle neck can be deformed from a planar shape to a tubular roll (14). In order to be able to use the drip-catcher (10) for aerating wine or other liquids when pouring them from a bottle, according to the invention said piece (12) of sheet material has a plurality of cuts (28) and fold lines (30) delimiting integral portions (26) of said piece (12), which portions (26), after deformation of said piece (12) from said planar shape into said tubular roll (14) and after insertion into said bottle neck, are apt to project into a hollow interior of said tubular roll (14) and to form obstacles in the liquid flow through said tubular roll (14) during pouring.
