Brand name for a champagne closure developed by the French company ALCAN Packaging Capsules in collaboration with the champagne house Duval-Leroy, which was presented to the public in mid-2009. ALCAN is also the inventor and manufacturer of the well-known STELVIN screw cap brand. The closure consists of a capsule with a crown cork with an integrated clip for opening. As no conventional cork is used, this also eliminates the dreaded problem of cork taint.

Opening the bottle

Opening a bottle of champagne is therefore much easier and quicker than with a conventional closure. In addition, the "pop" (opening noise) that many consumers love is retained. In the opinion of culture enthusiasts, there should be no noise at all when the cap is removed, and "popping the cork" is by no means part of the repertoire of a cultivated connoisseur of champagne (or other sparkling wines).

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
