Sparkling wine closures

Sealing a sparkling wine is a different job to sealing a still one. There is real pressure behind that cork, and the closure has to hold it for months or years without creeping out. That is why the whole system exists, cork or stopper, wire muselet and hood, each doing its part.

The traditional route is a cork. The Ferrari champagne cork stoppers with a finned shank come in 100 packs and are driven in with a corker, then held with a muselet. The wire side has its own small world of tools. The Ferrari manual muselet tying tool, the Giragabbiette, twists the wire down, and the professional spring wire retainer does the same job for regular use. Freebelt retaining wires come in 100 packs, and there are cork wire positioning parts, a standard cup, a special nylon cup and a professional version for big bottles. Polylaminate hoods in white finish the neck. The simpler route is a plastic stopper, which needs no wire tool and can be pushed home with the Ti Tappo manual corker press. The white plastic stoppers come in 25 packs, and the Colibri Italian champagne bottle stopper is for reclosing a bottle you have opened.

Leave your bottles a full day after disgorging or filling before you judge the seal. Chilled glass and warm room can fool you. Bring a bottle in and we will match the closure at Laverton North or Epping. See also capping and corkers, wine corks and capsules and bottles and closures.
