French term (also plaque de muselet) for the small metal capsule on the cork of a sparkling wine, which protects the cork from being cut by the agraffe (wire frame). There is a collector's scene for these objects, which is known as placomusophilia. See in detail under sparkling wine.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
