Before open a bottle of wine, the first thing is to open the capsule, it is generally to more interested in wine and bottle of wine, but ignores the wine capsule knowledge, capsule refers to the wine bottle plastic seal, generally uses the cork wine for seals, after plug will seal in the bottle seal on a layer of plastic, The main purpose of this layer of plastic bottle seal is to prevent the cork from becoming moldy and to keep the bottle mouth clean. As for the origin of this layer of plastic cap, because plastic bottle sealing is a thermal sealing technology, by heating the plastic film wrapped bottle mouth, are generally mechanical automatic.
Capsule are divided into PVC capsule, tin capsule, aluminum capsule, aluminum plastic capsule, different capsule have different materials and different prices.What are the functions of wine capsule?
1.Protective cork:
Although the new world has already set off the spiral plug trend, but have to admit, in wine bottle stoppers, cork still accounted for a large proportion. Wine sealed with cork will inevitably produce a certain gap, over time, wine is easy to be oxidized. The wine capsule protects the cork from cork contamination without direct contact with the air.
2.make the wine more beautiful :
With the exception of protective corks, most wine capsule are made for appearance. They don’t really serve any purpose, just to make the wine look good. A bottle of wine without a capsule looks like it has no clothes on, and the bare corks stick out strangely.
However, we sometimes see wines without wine capsule. These wines are either complex, structured and shelf-stable wines that require oxygen to mature slowly through the cork. Or a new world wine with an innovative look, a clear bottle, a simple and refreshing label, and a clean cork.
Through this brief introduction of aluminum caps, we have more understanding of wine capsule, next time we drink wine to observe carefully, maybe there are unexpected findings !
