THE PERFECT BOTTLE PACKAGING--HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT STOPPER OR CAP?

Spirit bottles are important containers for preserving spirits, and their sealing is crucial to maintaining the quality of the wine. Choosing the right stopper or cap is closely related to the type of spirit bottle. Different types of spirit bottles will have different types of stoppers or caps depending on their characteristics, uses and preservation needs.

1.Spirit Bottles (such as whiskey, brandy, etc.)

Spirit bottles usually have wider mouths and are suitable for metal screw caps or plastic screw caps. These caps fit snugly around the mouth of the bottle, effectively preventing alcohol from evaporating. At the same time, they are easy to open and close, making them convenient for consumers to use. For some high-end spirits, in order to improve the aesthetics and texture of the packaging, glass stoppers or metal stoppers are sometimes used.

2. Wine Bottle
Wine bottles are usually made of glass and have a narrow mouth. Therefore, the commonly used stopper for wine bottles is oak stopper, which can provide good sealing while allowing a small amount of oxidation in the wine, which helps to enhance the flavor of the wine. In addition, some high-quality wines also use metal screw caps, which have excellent sealing and can maintain the freshness of the wine for a long time.

3.Sherry and Port bottles

These two bottles are commonly used to store fortified wines, and they usually have a narrow mouth. Therefore, oak stopper is the first choice for these wine bottles. It not only provides a good seal, but also brings a subtle oxidation effect to the wine, adding complexity to the wine.

4.Single-use liquor bottles

For some single-use spirits bottles, such as beer bottles or soda bottles, they usually use metal crown caps or plastic caps. These caps offer excellent sealing and ease of use while being low cost and suitable for mass production and use.
