Show You The Wine Hat

A wine cap, also known as a bottle seal, is a coat that seals the wine stopper on the outside of the wine bottle. At the beginning of the birth of wine, there was actually no wine cap. Later, during storage, it was found that some small insects would eat the cork, so wine caps were invented to protect them from insects.

Earlier caps were made of lead, but later it was discovered that when pouring wine, the lead remaining at the mouth of the bottle could enter the wine, endanger human health, and contaminate the soil after discarding. In 1993, the European Union banned the use of lead wine caps. Today's wine caps are mostly made of tin or polyethylene materials.

Wine cap is a very important part of wine packaging, now it can not only prevent insects, bacteria and dust, but also play a role in modifying and aesthetics. There are many colors of wine caps, in general, the color of wine caps has little to do with the quality of wine, and the use of different colors is mainly to consider the aesthetics of the bottle and the division of wine product series, which belongs to marketing strategies.
