A screw cap is a metal cap that screws onto threads on the neck of a bottle. Its use as an alternative wine closure is gaining increasing support as an alternative to cork for sealing wine bottles. In markets such as Australia and New Zealand screw caps on bottles have overtaken cork to become the most common means of sealing bottles, right across the wine industry.
Compared to cork, screw caps reduce the wine faults of oxidation and of cork taint, although it is possible to find TCA contamination in a screw cap bottle. Screw caps are generally perceived as easier to open. Screw caps have a much lower failure rate than cork, and in theory will allow a wine to reach the customer in perfect condition, with a minimum of bottle variation. Also screw-cap is environment-friendly. If cork represents the glorious history of wine, screw cap would be the brilliant future of wine.

Basically every hundred bottles has 5%-15% wine suffer the pollution. And the emergence of the aluminum screw cap eliminates the hidden trouble, let crafted wine avoided TCA’s hard slain.
2 .Screw cap eliminates the risk of wine’s random oxidation
Random oxidation -- wine in oxidizing environment can be quick maturity. Cork mainly depends on the elasticity of the stopper to make sealing surrounding. This kind of packaging is infected by many outside factors, and cannot be controllable. But screw cap has a smooth surface which can be controlled after sealed in the outer edge of the bottle mouth. No exactly same cork (permeability) in the world, but we can find screw caps which can ensure same consistency in the quality of wine .

Inherent strength and corrosion resistance ability of aluminum, working together with the specially-made liner can ensure unabated taste. Temperature fluctuations will make expansion and contraction of wine, resulting in a change of inner pressure in the bottle. Cork is very sensitive to temperature changes, therefore leakage often happens. Screw cap’s superior sealing function is effective to reduce the risk and can also prevent wine in cellar from being tainted by other odor and from insect damage to sealing.
6.Easy to open and re-screwable
The traditional way to open a bottle of wine is to pull off the cork, which is not convenient to lots of people’s feeling. While it’s very easy to open a bottle of wine with screw cap, which does not need any special instrument, even to open the bottle with 10 years’ cellaring, just as easy as to open the bottle just come from the bottling line. Feeling the screw cap clicking, meanwhile the client could taste the sweet wine immediately.
7.Higher cost performance, upgrading the product, pilfer-proof
The advantage of screw cap is obvious that it could be done by mass production with low cost but higher cost performance. After optimization design, the screw cap price is obviously lower than that of the traditional cork.
The aluminum pilfer-proof screw caps are with specific design style which could promote the complete product infection and upgrade the product. It composes the wine brand and visual effect as an essential part, just like the label says the wine production area, history and quality.
