Abstract (en)

[origin: US7063221B2] The invention provides a method of making a stopper ( 2 ) of cork of natural and/or synthetic origin for a bottle of sparkling wine of the Champagne type, said stopper ( 2 ) having a base suitable for constituting a fraction of the inside wall ( 17 ) of said bottle ( 6 ) and an outside wall ( 30 ) suitable for bearing against the inside wall ( 24 ) of the neck ( 4 ). The method consists: in acting during closure of said bottle ( 6 ) to deform said outside wall ( 30 ) of said stopper ( 2 ) longitudinally over at least a portion extending to its base, so as to provide at least one channel-forming groove ( 18, 33 ) in said stopper; and in maintaining the longitudinal deformation throughout the period said bottle ( 6 ) is closed by said stopper ( 2 ) so that said channel-forming groove ( 18, 33 ) persists when said bottle is partially opened.
