STELVIN

Wine offers for "STELVIN" in find+buy

Registered trademark for a screw cap made by the French company ALCAN Packaging Capsules, which manufactures all types of closures. STELVIN is an artificial word made up of STELCAP (registered trademark for screw caps) and VIN. It is a special aluminium closure for wine bottles. A further development is Stelvin lux+, which no longer has any corrugation on the outside and cannot be distinguished from a conventional cork. This even led to the fact that non-specialists initially tried to open the bottles with a corkscrew. The name STELVIN has become a synonym for screw tops, but there are also some other brands. In 2009, the ALCAN company introduced a special closure for champagne (sparkling wine) called MAESTRO, which was developed with the Duval-Leroy champagne house.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
