A closure is a seal used to close a bottle of wine. Several types of closures are available, each with its benefits and drawbacks. The most common type of closure is the cork, (Knowleage: Different Types of Corks and Closures for Wine Bottle) which has been used for centuries. Cork closures provide a good seal and are relatively easy to use, but they can be susceptible to oxidation and bacteria.

Other types of closures include screw caps, which provide a good seal and are easy to use but can give the wine a “metallic” taste; synthetic corks, which are made from plastic and provide a good seal but can be difficult to remove; and screw caps with a plastic liner, which provide an easy-to-use seal and good protection against oxidation.

Capsule

The capsule is the technical term for the Aluminum foil found in a wine bottle’s neck and is supposed to help keep a wine’s flavor and aroma intact.

Neck

The neck in a wine bottle is the portion of the bottle that extends from the base to the shoulder. This section of the bottle is essential for two reasons. First, the neck provides structural support for the entire bottle. Second, the neck helps to keep the wine inside the bottle fresh and free from oxygen exposure. This is because the neck is narrower than the bottle’s body, allowing a smaller surface area of the wine to be exposed to air.

Shoulder

The shoulder is the section of the wine bottle that slopes downward from the neck to the body. This part of the bottle is generally narrower than the body, which helps to prevent the wine from oxidizing. Some people believe that the shoulder also helps to support the cork in the neck of the bottle, preventing it from breaking loose and ruining the wine.

Body

The body of a wine bottle is the section between the base and the shoulder. The shoulder is the sloping part of the bottle that connects the body to the neck. The bottle’s body determines the amount of wine that the bottle can hold. Most standard wine bottles have a capacity of 750 milliliters, which is about 25 ounces.

Label

Wine producers use labels to identify products and convey important information to consumers. A wine label typically includes the winery’s name, type of wine, vintage, and other important information such as alcohol content, producer code, and country of origin.

While the label is not required to include all of this information, it is often helpful for consumers to have as much information as possible when choosing a wine. The label is an essential tool for producers to communicate their products to consumers, and it can be helpful to understand what all the various elements of a label mean.

Punt

The punt is the indentation at the bottom of a wine bottle. It is there for a couple of reasons: 

• #To strengthen the bottle

• #To provide a place for the bottle to sit upright on a surface without tipping over

• #To make the bottle easier to hold

• #To catch drips when pouring wine

• #Heel

The heel is the raised part at the bottom of a wine bottle. The heel helps support the weight of the wine and prevents the bottle from tipping over. It also makes it easier to pour wine into a glass.
