Novatwist Reusable Plastic Screw Caps For Wine Bottles.

[Chippy_Tea]

A quick thread bump for the Novatwist caps as they have been discussed in another thread today.

I am still using the same ones i bought in 2015 when i posted this thread and they are still 100% airtight. :thumba:

So do you sterilise these caps in some VWP or something before you screw them on?

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Yes, I use Milton baby stereliser tablets for all my equipment as it only takes 15 minutes and is no rinse.

 

[Mr_S_Jerusalem]

Excellent, thanks man.

I just bought 30 of these for 9 quid off Ebay.

[Mr_S_Jerusalem]

Dude the postage on those is £5.50....

 

[Cakeshop Mike]

Worth it when you bulk buy! I bought 120 in four different colours. Shouldn't need to buy anymore for a long while.

 

[Mr_S_Jerusalem]

Ah hadn't thought of that lol

 

[Mr_S_Jerusalem]

So I tried these out today and they are excellent. MUCH easier than corking them.
And they look good on the bottle. And it means I don’t have to chuck away the screw cap bottles like I was doing (I’m uncomfortable using the ones they came with, they look flimsy and rubbish).
AND
How many wines in bottles do you buy these days with a cork in? For me it’s like none.

Have use them on a 30 bottle Kenridge kit , really excellent, only problem is asking people to return the bottle, don’t know what they have been doing with them , most have been destroyed, I know the solution though

My anxiety with the novatwist is the style of screw thread you are supposed to use.
Am never certain which is a single or double thread.

 

[Willshill1]

Had read about size of bottles etc but used various different bottles with absolutely no issue, getting ready to reorder new batch .

The guy in the video in the OP shows some bottles.

Quick question, are these any good for carbonation in the bottle?

don't risk it! they are not designed to hold pressure. Old ones might be ok butmodern ones are very thin.

Anybody got a decent recent UK supplier for these... I have been googling a bit but those that appear to be reasonable want about £6.50 postage to deliver 36 little pieces of plastic. Robbery!!!!

 

[Willshill1]

Got 50 for £13.99 delivered recently on eBay , couldn’t find a link , there was a few similar sellers around that price

Thanks. Works out around the same though as the few others I found. Plus of course, would any self respecting red wine drinker put gold tops on? You were not to know though to be fair.

I put the gold ones on all my wines i have no self respect.

Ahh, so the gold ones were on offer then?
