Alternative Wine Closures-Glass Stoppers


CSI's new glass and acrylic closures provide attractive alternatives to corks and synthetic stoppers.
 
The elegant new closure looks like a decorative decanter stopper, and it is recyclable. Made with flexible o-rings, the stopper provides a sterile seal, preventing contamination or oxidation. An aluminum overcap and traditional neck sleeve will ensure mechanical protection and tamper evidence.
