An essential element of the bottle, the finish, in perfect synergy with the closure system, plays a fundamental role. It guarantees the proper preservation of your products. For this reason, it receives special attention in our industrial process, where numerous checks ensure compliance with the strictest standards.

Beyond its technical function, the bottle finish is a powerful tool for differentiation. By adopting a finish design that stands out from the standard model in your market, you can make your bottle stand out very effectively. For many of our clients, the finish is now a major focus for customization and brand enhancement.

Finishes for Still Wines

For still wines, the choice of finish is inseparable from the selected type of closure (cork, synthetic, screw caps, Vinolok, etc.). It must take into account precise technical parameters to guarantee the quality of the wine.

• The compatibility of the closure/bottle pairing: The headspace (the air gap at the top of the bottle) must be sufficient to absorb temperature variations during storage and transport. The dimensions of the finish, traditionally 49 or 45 mm in length, must be perfectly compatible with the closure and the bottle to ensure this function.
• Product rotation time: The expected time between bottling and consumption, which depends on the wine's aging potential, directly influences the choice of closure and, consequently, the choice of finish.

Specific Finishes for Sparkling Wines

Sparkling wines (effervescent, semi-sparkling, frizzante) contain dissolved carbon dioxide, which creates varying levels of internal pressure. Bottles for these wines must therefore be equipped with special finishes that are thicker and more robust, designed to withstand this pressure and ensure total safety.

Finishes in the World of Spirits

For spirits, the choice of closure is a decision that is aesthetic, technical, and marketing-driven all at once.

• Dark spirits, such as Cognac or whisky, often lean towards traditional cork stoppers. In contrast, white spirits, like vodka, generally prefer synthetic closures or screw-cap finishes for their practicality.
• For the most prestigious products, such as our decanters for spirits meant for slow tasting, we use "carnette" finishes, which are more elegant and high-quality. Screw-cap finishes, on the other hand, are more often found on bottles intended for rapid consumption.
• Finally, the choice can also be cultural, as some international markets are heavily oriented towards screw caps.
