Definitions

  • the present invention relates to closure means for wine bottles and, in particular, to screw caps for wine bottles for use in the long term storage and maturation of wine.
  • Cork has long been used in the wine industry as a means of closing wine bottles because it provides an effective liquid seal against leakage of wine from the bottle whilst allowing the wine to breathe.
  • the term “breathe” refers to the diffusion of oxygen through the cork and into the wine bottle. Wines and some other beverages need a controlled amount of oxygen to age naturally, and it is a fact that many wine connoisseurs consider that bottles containing still wine should be corked in preference to other forms of closure means.
  • US 3,559,834 describes a screw cap for a wine bottle that comprises cork and ventilation holes
  • the screw cap still contains a relatively long portion of cork and so goes no way in overcoming the problem of the increased cost and reduced availability of natural cork.
  • the cork is gripped by the screw cap by crimping triangular tongues disposed on the screw cap's skirt into the cork. By pressing the triangular tongues into the cork, additional ventilation holes are formed in the skirt of the screw cap. Therefore, so that the liquid in the wine bottle does not leak, the cork must be sufficiently long to descend a significant distance into the neck of the bottle, past the openings of the side of the screw cap.
  • the embodiment shown in Fig. 14 of US 3,559,834 shows a significantly shorter cork that does not extensively depend into the neck of the bottle. However, this embodiment is specifically for use with wines which require a relatively short aging period, such as rose wines.
  • a closure means which has gained popularity in recent times is an aluminium screw cap such as that manufactured by Alcan Packaging, a member of the Alcan Group Inc, marketed under the STELVIN ® trade mark.
  • the STELVIN ® cap comprises a circular top portion having a skirt projecting therefrom and an internal liner consisting of one of two types.
  • the first is composed of layers of polyethylene, PVDC and expanded polyethylene sandwiched together and is designed to be used as a closure for a bottle for wines with a relatively short aging period (2 to 5 years).
  • the second liner is composed of expanded polyethylene, white kraft, PVDC and tin sandwiched together for longer term storage of wine (up to 10 years).
  • the problem of both of these liners is that the STELVIN ® cap allows minimal, if any, transfer of oxygen between the external environment and the wine bottle.
  • the STELVIN ® cap prevents the leakage of liquid from a wine bottle, for use with wines that require a relatively long aging period the STELVIN ® cap does not allow the wine to breathe sufficiently and thus the wine does not mature in similar fashion to a conventional cork.
  • a screw cap for a wine bottle comprising a substantially circular top having a skirt projecting therefrom and a liner disposed adjacent said top, said skirt having an internal thread portion adapted to engage with an external thread portion on the neck of said bottle, at least a portion of said liner is composed of a breathable material, and said top has at least one ventilation hole therein characterised in that said liner comprises a flat ring-like membrane substantially impermeable to gas, said membrane adjacent to the breathable material substantially preventing the transfer of gaseous oxygen through said outer edge portion of said liner.
  • At least a portion of said breathable material is composed of cork.
  • said liner is made of a material selected from the group consisting of composite cork, cork polymer composite, a single piece of cork, a breathable plastic material, a polymer plastic, wax coated paper or cardboard, a cardboard and polymer .
  • said liner comprises a layer of adhesive substantially impermeable to gas, applied in a flat ring-like layer, said adhesive layer applied adjacent to the breathable material substantially preventing the transfer of oxygen through said outer edge portion of said liner.
  • said liner comprises a membrane substantially permeable to gas adjacent to at least a surface of the breathable material in contact with liquid within said bottle, said membrane substantially permeable to gas forming a 2,4,6 TCA barrier between said breathable material and said liquid.
  • the outer surface of said liner is coated with a membrane substantially permeable to gas, said membrane coating forming a 2,4,6 TCA barrier between said liner and the liquid within said bottle.
  • the thickness of said liner may be altered depending on the variety of wine to be stored and/or the period of time for which the wine is to be stored.
  • the thickness of said liner is 2mm to 20mm.
  • the density of said liner maybe altered depending on the variety of wine to be stored and/or the period of time for which the wine is to be stored.
  • said at least one ventilation hole is located at or near a side portion of said substantially circular top.
  • said at least one ventilation hole comprises at least one notch in said substantially circular top.
  • said screw cap comprises a single aperture therein.
  • said aperture has a diameter between 0.5mm and 20mm
  • each of said plurality of apertures has a diameter between 0.5mm and 2mm.
  • said screw cap comprises a plurality of apertures therein.
  • said at least one ventilation hole provides a visual identification means for said screw cap.
  • said visual identification means is a distinctive indicia formed by said at least one ventilation hole.
  • said liner is press-fitted into said screw cap.
  • a peripheral portion of said liner is adhered to said screw cap
  • a screw cap for a wine bottle comprising a substantially circular top having a skirt projecting therefrom and a liner disposed adjacent said top, said skirt having an internal thread portion adapted to engage with an external thread portion on the neck of said bottle, characterised in that at least a portion of said liner is composed of cork, and said top has at least one ventilation hole therein.
  • a screw cap for a wine bottle adapted for enhancing the organoleptic characteristics of the wine during long term storage, said screw cap comprising a liner composed of at least a portion of a breathable material and said screw cap having at least one ventilation hole therein.
  • a screw cap for a wine bottle comprising a substantially circular top having a skirt projecting therefrom and a liner disposed adjacent said top, said skirt having an internal thread portion adapted to engage with an external thread portion on the neck of said bottle, characterised in that said liner is at least partially composed of a breathable material, said breathable material having a first end disposed adjacent at least one ventilation in said top and a second end adjacent said liquid in said wine bottle.
  • a screw cap for a wine bottle comprising a substantially circular top having a skirt projecting therefrom and a liner disposed adjacent said top, said skirt having an internal thread portion adapted to engage with an external thread portion on the neck of said bottle, characterised in that at least a portion of said liner is composed of a breathable material, and said top has at least one ventilation hole therein, such that, gaseous oxygen slowly diffuses into said bottle through said at least one ventilation hole and said liner whereby, said oxygen chemically reacts with substances in said wine during a predetermined aging period to improve the organoleptic characteristics of said wine.

  • the screw cap 10 comprises a substantially circular top 13 and a cylindrical skirt 11 projecting therefrom. Adjacent the top 13 is a liner 20 that is adapted to cover the opening of a bottle 12.
  • the neck portion of the bottle 12 has an external thread portion 14 thereon and the skirt 11 of the screw cap 10 has an internal thread portion adapted to engage with the external thread portion 14 to secure the screw cap 10 onto the bottle 12.
  • the liner 20 is composed of a breathable material.
  • the liner 20 may be composed of a single piece of natural cork wad, a wad of synthetic cork polymer composite, a wad of composite cork or a wad of treated granulated cork.
  • the treatment processes may include a number of different heat and CO 2 extraction processes whereby substantial amounts of the chemical molecule 2,4,6 trichoranisole (2,4,6 TCA) is removed from the cork.
  • 2,4,6 TCA is a chemical that is present in natural and composite cork and can seep into the wine in the bottle and taint the flavour of the wine over longer term storage periods. Wine that has been tainted with 2,4,6 TCA is commonly referred to as being 'corked'.
  • the liner 20 of the present invention is preferably relatively thin. This assists in lowering the production cost of the screw cap 10 due to the rising cost of obtaining cork in recent times.
  • the thickness of the liner 20 is less than 15mm. Even more preferably the thickness of the liner 20 is 5mm or less but it should be understood that other suitable thicknesses could be utilised.
  • the liner 20 is preferably press-fitted into the recess formed by the skirt 11 of the screw cap 10 so that it is adjacent the top 13.
  • Figure 1 depicts a first preferred embodiment of the screw cap 10 in accordance with the present invention.
  • the breathable material is composed of cork.
  • the liner 20 may be composed of a single piece of natural cork wad, a wad of synthetic cork polymer composite, a wad of composite cork, or a wad of granulated cork that has been treated by a number of different heat and CO 2 extraction processes whereby substantial amounts of the chemical molecule 2,4,6 TCA is removed, layers of natural cork discs, layers of synthetic cork polymer discs, layers of composite cork or the like.
  • the liner 20 further comprises a flat ring-like membrane 22.
  • Membrane 22 is made from a polymer that is impermeable to gas.
  • the ring-like membrane 22 does not cover the centre portion 19 of the liner 20. Therefore, oxygen transfer will only occur in significant amounts through the centre portion 19 and not through the membrane 22.
  • the liner 20 includes membrane 22 the amount and the rate of oxygen diffusion through the liner 20 from the external environment into the wine bottle 12 is reduced.
  • the screw cap as shown in Figure 1 may be used.
  • a peripheral portion of the liner 20 may be adhered to the screw cap 10 adjacent the top 13. It is important that the adhesive 18 not be applied to a significant portion of the liner 20 so that the "breathability" of the screw cap 10 is not compromised. Preferably, the centre portion of the liner 20 should remain free of any adhesive 18 so that the liner 20 is able to breathe effectively.
  • the adhesive 18 helps to seal the liner 20 within the screw cap 10 and prevent the liner 20 from slipping out. This helps to ensure that a seal is formed between the liner 20 and the screw cap 10.
  • FIGS 3 and 4 depict further embodiments of the screw cap 10 in accordance with the present invention.
  • the liner 20 is similar to the embodiment shown in Figures 1 in so far as, the liner 20 is composed of a breathable material. At least a portion of the breathable material is composed of cork.
  • the liner 20 maybe composed of a single piece of natural cork wad, a wad of synthetic cork polymer composite, a wad of composite cork, or a wad of granulated cork that has been treated by a number of different heat and CO 2 extraction processes whereby substantial amounts of the chemical molecule 2,4,6 TCA is removed, layers of natural cork discs, layers of synthetic cork polymer discs, layers of composite cork or the like.
  • the liner 20 further comprises a membrane 24.
  • Membrane 24 is made from a polymer that is permeable to gas but forms a barrier to the transfer of chemicals with a relatively high molecular weight. Natural and composite cork contains a chemical known as 2,4,6 TCA which, if released into the wine in significant quantity, renders the wine undrinkable. Wines that have been tainted in this way are commonly referred to as 'corked wine'. Membrane 24 prevents 2,4,6 TCA from leaching into the wine from the natural or composite cork liner 20 and tainting the wine.
  • the membrane 24 is preferably adhered to the screw cap 10, although it may also be simply press fitted into the recess formed by the skirt 11.
  • the gas permeable membrane 24 may be used in conjunction with the gas impermeable membrane 22.
  • the membrane 22 is preferably a flat-ring like membrane and does not cover the centre portion 19 of the liner 20. Therefore, oxygen transfer will only occur in significant amounts through the centre portion 19 and not through the gas impermeable membrane 22.
  • the liner 20 of Figures 1 to 4 may be manufactured in a number of ways.
  • the layer of breathable material is cut to a predetermined size in order to fit within the recess formed by the skirt of the screw cap 10.
  • the membrane 22 is then cut into a ring like disc and either adhered to the layer of breathable material or simply layered with the breathable material.
  • the layer of breathable material and membrane 22 are then compressed and optionally adhered into the underside of screw cap 10, adjacent the substantially circular top 13.
  • the membrane 22 may also be a ring like disc wherein the breathable material is cut to fit within the opening defined by the ring like disc membrane 22.
  • the liner 20 may composed of the same materials as those embodiments described above however, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the entire outer surface of liner 20 may also be coated in the membrane 24. This method of coating the liner 20 may be more cost effective than applying the membrane only on the lower surface of the liner in contact with the liquid in the bottle 12.
  • the liner 20 is preferably made substantially from cork, it must be understood that in other embodiments not shown, other suitable breathable materials may be used to make the liner 20.
  • the liner 20 may be composed of wax coated paper or cardboard that acts as a liquid barrier but is gas permeable, hi another embodiment not shown in the drawings, the liner 20 may be composed of a cardboard polymer mixture.
  • the liner 20 is at least partially composed of cork.
  • the liner 20 maybe composed of layers of natural cork discs, layers of synthetic cork polymer discs, layers of composite cork, layers of treated granulated cork or the like.
  • gaseous oxygen slowly diffuses through the liner 20 of the screw cap 10 and into the wine bottle 12.
  • the liner 20 is exposed to the oxygen hi the external environment by way of the ventilation holes 16.
  • the ventilation holes 16 are between 0.5 and 2mm in diameter.
  • oxygen is able to diffuse through the liner 20 at the points where the ventilation holes expose the liner 20 to the external environment.

Where the top 13 has a single ventilation hole, it may be up to 20mm in diameter but where the top 13 comprises a plurality of ventilation holes, the preferred diameter of the ventilation holes is between 0.5mm and 2mm. However, it should be understood that other suitable sized ventilation holes could be utilised.
  • the ventilation holes 16 that are disposed on the screw cap 10 may form a visual identification means 43 for the screw cap 10 that allows consumers to visually identify that a wine bottle 12 is sealed with a screw cap 10 of the present invention.
