FAQ Sparkling wine capsule

  1. Placement – The champagne capsule is automatically placed over the bottle neck, cork, and wire hood
  2. Pre-folding – The material is precisely pre-folded and fitted to the contour of the bottle
  3. Smoothing – The capsule is precisely molded to fit the bottle neck, cork, and wire hood

BT-Watzke’s sparkling wine capsules are made from aluminium composite film—also known as polylaminate film:

  • Construction – multi-layer composite film consisting of aluminium and plastic layers
  • Properties – flexible, dimensionally stable, pressure-resistant – ideal for the specific requirements of sparkling wine and Prosecco
  • Appearance – high-quality, customizable in a wide range of colours, finishes, and print options
  • Processing – optimized for automatic application, pre-folding, and smoothing on the filling line

The aluminium composite foil combines functionality with design freedom – for a professional and brand-consistent look for sparkling wines in every segment. A paper-aluminium foil is also available as an eco-friendly alternative.

BT-Watzke offers champagne capsules for all standard bottle sizes and custom requirements:

From Piccolo to Magnum – we produce capsules for all standard sparkling wine sizes

A wide variety of tapers – designed to fit different bottle shapes and necks­ ­­– enable an extremely broad range of champagne capsules

Customized grainings, medallions or internally printed tear-off strips are just a few highlights of the finishing options: tear-off variations, top disc variations, fluting, cork ventilation and handcrafted magnum Magnum champagne capsules

The champagne capsule combines three key functions in a single component:

  • Tamper-evident protection – secures the wire hood and makes unauthorized opening immediately visible – an important sign of trust for retailers and consumers
  • Hygienic protection – reliably seals the entire neck area against dust, dirt, and external influences during storage and transport
  • Aesthetic upvaluation – underscores the quality and brand identity of the sparkling wine – customizable with printing, textures, and medallions

The champagne capsule is both a functional and a design element.
