Cappings are various elements used to protect and isolate bottled beverages from air infiltration, contamination, possible oxidation of the product and loss of flavor. Capping is not only a means of product protection, but also an additional element of brand identification.
\n\n\n

Alcoholic beverage closures come in:
\n\n\n
- \n\t
- cap – put on or screwed on the neck of the container;
- \n\t
- cork (cork, polymer) – closure means, which are inserted inside the neck of the bottle;
- \n\t
- T-cork (kamyu) – inserted inside, the top cap fits snugly on the neck of the bottle;
- \n\t
- crown plugs – crown-shaped metal cap with a sealing gasket;
- \n\t
- wire stopper (muselet) is a capping device used as a supplement to the corking of bottles in which over-pressurized beverages (champagne) are filled.

\n\n\n
The best closures forwine bottles, including sparkling wine bottles, are cork stoppers. However, due to the shortage of cork oak bark, various polymer stoppers or so-called agglomerated stoppers (pressed from cork oak bark granules), micro-granulated stoppers (cork granulate with a size of 0. 2-0.5 mm) and colmatized stoppers (stoppers made of low quality cork bark, whose pores are filled with a special composition) are most often used for corking bottles.2-0.5 mm), as well as colmatized corks (corks made of low quality bark whose pores are filled with a special composition).
\n\n\n
Interesting fact: Real cork stoppers are usually hand-cut from the most valuable sheets of cork oak bark. Such corks are free of defects and imperfections and are most often used for corking vintage and collectible wines. However, since natural cork is subject to aging, it is recommended to re-cork bottles corked with natural cork oak bark cork every 20-30 years.
\n\n\n
Caps are most often used for corking vodka bottles andCamu corks for cognac bottles. Caps are made of polymers acceptable for contact with food products (plastic caps with a tear-off band, with a retractable dispenser), as well as of tin and polylaminate (tin and polylaminate caps). Multicolor offset printing, flexography, congreve, hot foil stamping or use of decorative varnishes based on metallized pigments, etc. are applied on the side surface of the cap. Additional hidden security elements can be applied to the bottle cap, which will serve as an additional protection of products from counterfeiting.
\n\n\n
\n\n\n
Camus corks are characterized by the fact that they can be made of different materials, according to the customer’s choice. Thus, the stem (the cork itself) can be natural – cork, micro-granulated, agglomerated, colmatized and synthetic, depending on the material used for production. And the cap of the cork can be wooden, plastic, glass, aluminum or all-metal.
\n\n\n
Crown caps aremade of tinplate metal, which is bent at the edges in the form of teeth, which makes the cap look like a crown – hence the name. Inside the crown cap there is a plastic seal. Crown caps are most often used for corking beer bottles and bottles of low- and non-alcoholic beverages. According to the method of removal from the neck of the bottle, corks are divided into 2 types: pry-off – those that can be opened with a bottle opener, and twist-off – those that can be removed simply by turning by hand.
\n\n\n
Interesting fact:The first crown corks were made with 24 teeth, now, for a tighter fit on the neck, and thanks to better equipment, such corks have 21 teeth….
