Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9809879A1] A wine bottle having a neck finish (10) and a cap-type closure (30) therefor. The finish (10) includes an incomplete annular groove (16) between its rim (14) and a transfer bead (12). The groove (16) includes at least one cam section (18). In use, a depending skirt (34) of the cap (30) extends over the groove (16) and is deformed into the groove (16) to seal the cap on the bottle. The deformed portion of the skirt (34) is reformable by the cam section (18) upon relative rotation of the cap (30) on the finish (10) to render the cap removable from the bottle. The finish and closure have the appearance of a conventional cork mouth wine bottle for consumer acceptance reasons, but avoids problems such as cork tainting and manufacturing difficulties associated with conventional cork mouth wine bottles.
