The End for Bottle Tops and Corks
Nobody can argue that bottle tops and wine corks play a vital role in keeping drinks fresh, and they have always done it well very, which is why almost all brands have used very similar designs. Any seasoned drinker will tell you just how many times they have woken up the find hundreds of the things scattered about the place after a big night. However, now that more advanced version of bottle top such as the screw top have come on the scene, it looks like its curtains for the classics.
Mainly bottle caps have been made from steel and feature 21 teeth the clasp around the rim of the bottle neck very tightly, pulling a thin cork or rubber disk a the top of the cap downward to form a seal. Whilst they were great at keeping the contents of a bottle fresh, they are a nightmare to get off and unless you have teeth made from granite, you have to use a bottle opener to stand any chance of quenching your thirst. This is the main reason that screw top bottle caps have increased in popularity, as they allow people easy access to the content, without the need to have a bottle open to hand at all times.
The case is pretty much the same with wine bottle corks, but there are a couple more reasons why corks are being pushed out (no pun intended). A corkscrew used to be a staple part of any tableware set, but its usefulness is dwindling as screw top wine bottles become more popular. In the same way as beer bottles need a bottle opener, wine bottles always required a corkscrew to be close by, and that’s just not always practical. Furthermore, corks are not as good as screw tops for wine storage. Cork expands and contracts with varying moisture levels and with this can let air into the bottle, ruining the wine. Also, it has a tendency to break up over time if the wine is stored horizontally, as it often is on wine racks, resulting in the wine sometimes being ‘corked’ when served. So whilst it may be sad to say good bye to the bottle tops we have been so fond of, at least they are being made redundant by better products.
