ABSTRACT:
A capsule for placement over bottle tops, particularly tops of bottles of wine having a flanged bottle top which defines a pouring surface surrounding an opening of the bottle closed with a cork and an exterior undercut. The capsule is constructed of a heat shrinkable material, covers the pouring surface, engages the undercut, and includes a weakened break line positioned so that the break line overlies the periphery of the bottle top flange. The capsule is transparent and includes an opaque band at its free, lower end which is dimensioned and positioned to overlie and thereby hide from view a lower end of the cork and a fill line formed by the wine in the bottle. The base of the capsule includes a hole which is about the same size as or slightly larger than the bottle opening. An opaque, preferably metallic, disk is affixed e.g. bonded, to the base of the capsule, overlies and covers the bottle opening, hides the end of the cork from view, and protects the bottle top, the bottle opening, the cork and a pouring surface of the bottle against contamination and tampering.
