Packaging Solutions for Wine
A wine’s journey does not end at bottling – it begins there.
The right closure preserves aroma, structure, and ageing potential while enhancing the bottle’s presentation. At RR Cork, we provide comprehensive wine packaging solutions, from natural cork to advanced technical closures, screw caps, and premium capsules.
Natural Cork Stoppers
Natural cork closures are punched from a single piece of cork and remain the gold standard for wines intended to age.
Their natural elasticity and compressibility allow them to adapt to the bottleneck, ensuring a perfect seal while permitting controlled oxygen exchange — essential for maturation.
The Benchmark for Quality Wines
Natural cork remains the closure of choice for premium wines seeking authenticity, sustainability, and proven performance.
Twin Top 1+1 Cork Stoppers
Designed with an agglomerated cork body and natural cork discs on both ends, Twin Top 1+1 closures combine structural stability with premium performance.
- Robust and resistant to pressure
- Lower permeability than traditional natural cork
- Ideal for wines not intended for very long bottle ageing
- Matte, gloss, metallic, transparent options
A reliable solution balancing quality and cost efficiency.
Micro Cork Stoppers
Manufactured from granulated cork using approved food-contact binders, micro cork stoppers offer:
- Excellent mechanical and sealing properties
- High homogeneity
- Cost-effective performance
- Suitable for wines intended for 12–24 months consumption
Available Options:
- MR3 (47 x 24)
- TECH 5 (47 x 24 or 45 x 24 – thinner granules, lower oxygen transfer)
- TECH 2 (44 x 24 – thicker granules)
- Tech 5 offers lower oxygen transfer, helping wines oxidise more slowly in bottle.
Colmated Cork Stoppers
Colmated corks are natural cork stoppers whose pores are sealed with cork dust to improve visual consistency and sealing capacity.
- Improved physical properties
- More uniform appearance
- Categorized A, B, or C based on level of colmation
An excellent solution when maintaining market attractiveness is key.
Wine Screw Caps
An increasingly popular solution for still wines, screw caps provide:
- Airtight seal to prevent oxidation
- Smooth opening and resealing
- Precision fit with standardized dimensions
Ideal for wineries prioritising consistency, freshness, and sustainability.
