History bottle caps

History bottle caps 


Bottle cork to protect their contents from oxidation, contamination by microorganisms, splashing, for ease of transportation and storage. Plugs can be combined with other devices to enhance the comfort pouring the contents of the bottle or protect against fraud (eg, Guala cap). Plugs should have a certain reliability. However, it is the reliability and durability of cork sometimes create problems for their disposal. Problems arise when the bottle uncorked the wrong tool or using the wrong methodology. Lack of tools to unlock congestion often creates difficulties in everyday life, such as the problem of extracting cork without a corkscrew or bottle of beer without opening the bottle opener. The method is of great importance in certain situations, such as opening the bottle the bottle as a waiter in a restaurant when opening the bottle or bottles of medication. In some cases it is desirable to keep the cork for recycling, and the correct method of opening the bottle may be damaged. 

Cork narezkoySposob opening the bottle with a screw in the first place determined by the type plugs. Corks are produced mainly from the following materials: cork (cork firmly seated in the neck of the bottle), metal (caps on beer bottles and bottles of soft drinks, unscrewed caps on bottles with strong drinks and liqueurs), plastics (unscrewed caps on plastic bottles with carbonated drinks, jams "on the bottle of port wine, cork for champagne), foil (vodka bottles, medical supplies), rubber (drugs), glass (decorative bottles , drugs). Removing some of these jams (unscrewed, glass) does not present much difficulty, while for others there are special devices. 


Uncapped medical preparatDlya extraction cortical plugs use different types of spin, for opening beer bottles and the like used opener. (In the United States have simplified the procedure of opening beer making beer caps unscrewed). Responding to consumer request, the industry produces a huge variety of corkscrews and bottle openers. 

1889 Dan Raylends from Yorkshire patented bottle, closed with a plug with screw-threaded 

Until the 17 th century bottles were used mainly to feed the drink to the table and the traffic is not needed. No one really thought about creating a truly high quality, designed for long service cork, until I realized the true purpose of a glass bottle. 

The need for such a traffic jam occurred only in the 17-18 centuries, when the winemakers have noticed that a well-corked glass container not only maintains but also improves the properties of wine. A monk Dom Pierre Perignon, the inventor of champagne, earned his place in history by the fact that the first bottle was corked cork. 

Most buyers do not attach much importance to a traffic jam. And vain. The quality of wine depends on this small cylinder from the bark of cork oak. He is a noble service, and protects the contents of the bottle from the disastrous oxidation. And how many great wines were ruined tainted cork, distorted Bouquet is no coincidence connoisseurs of wines carefully examining the form of extracted cork and sniff it before you offer the wine to all those present. 

The most common plugs are designed for short-lived wine, made from compacted crust, and the most valuable, designed to protect the contents of the bottle for decades, are made of one piece - and for most decent wines provide the longest. 

Many of them are for the convenience of industrial applications are processed with paraffin wax - but the highest category of quality wines are the exception. They are designed for long aging in the cellars, and the cork should provide "breathing" of wine in a few years. However, even the best caps will not last forever - they have to be removed from the old bottles and replaced with new ones every 25-30 years. 

Realizing that none of the hitherto established congestion is not perfect, producing wines continue to experiment. Over the last few years, there have some interesting models of plugs of compacted crust, silicon and other advanced materials. They can maintain the freshness of young wines, but no one has dared ukuporit they really expensive and designed for aging wine. By the way, you notice that a good stopper somehow do not want to throw away. I do not! Saved cork can become a souvenir or the beginning of an interesting collection.
