CONT

Les capsules en polyéthylène présentent l'avantage (...) d'être livrées dans leur forme définitive, telles qu'elles apparaîtront sur la bouteille. Elles se posent à sec. De plus, elles rendent le bouchage inviolable et contribuent à l'étanchéité par simple rétraction sur le goulot. Certaines capsules se font dans plusieurs dimensions adaptées aux caractéristiques des différents types de bagues, bourgogne, bordeaux, porto, couronne, aluminium, etc. Il existe des capsules de surbouchage en polyéthylène (...) [qui se] posent avec une tête qui procèdent à l'écartement.
