Wine Caps

The Wine Caps are the most important quality control factor in any bottled wine. The shelf live and quality of the wine greatly depends on what is used to close its bottle. Find here more about the Wine Caps that are used world over by the wine makers.

  1. Currently there are three ways to close a bottle of wine: natural cork, synthetic cork and screw caps.
  2. Natural cork closures have a centuries-long heritage. A “corked” bottle has a musty smell and taste that stems from TCA – a substance used to sanitize the natural cork prior to bottling.
  3. Synthetic corks are made from plastic. These show the inability to keep oxidation at bay for any real length of time, significantly decreasing the shelf life of a wine.
  4. Screw caps provide the best seal for bottled wines, and eliminate the “corked” and oxidation problem at the same time.
