Bottles & Closures

The bottle is where months of work either holds or leaks away. A closure that does not match its bottle will let oxygen creep in, and everything you did carefully at fermentation is undone quietly over a year on the shelf. Getting the pairing right is the last real decision you make about a batch.

Start with the neck finish, because that decides the closure, not the other way around. A claret bottle with a cork finish, like our 750ml Antique Green Heavy Punted from OI Glass, takes a Diam Wine Cork, a Cork Natural Ref 1 or a Cork Tapered Agglomerated. A BVS finish, such as the 750ml Claret Flint Light Weight or the 375ml Flint BVS, takes a Novatwist plastic screw cap or an aluminium pre thread screw cap instead. Beer goes into 26mm crown seals, the Ferrari gold caps being the usual choice. Then there are the odd sizes worth knowing about, the Italian Tomato Passata Sauce Bottle 720ml for sauce season, the 200ml Limoncello flint bottle, a 35mm metal screw cap for demijohns and a 38mm cap for two litre flagons.

A shopkeeper tip. Bring one of your existing bottles in, or measure the neck across the top, before you buy caps in bulk. Two bottles that look identical on a shelf can take completely different closures.

See glass and PET bottles, wine corks, capsules and stoppers, crown seal caps and cappers and corkers, or bring a bottle to Laverton North or Epping and we will match it.
