Cork and screw: cork innovation

The 'pop', the typical festive sound associated with the ritual uncorking of a bottle of wine is evolving to become a true out of the box experience and, with Amorim Cork Italia, wineries can now count on a cork that is increasingly linked to the galloping lifestyle: HELIX 2.0. The evolution of the packaging, which has been innovative since its creation in combining the functionality of natural cork with the practicality of a screw cap, offers an increasingly premium and customisable image, respects sustainability, is even easier to open and close each bottle, and remains rigorous in its respect for a wine.

An exclusive patent for an unrivalled product: the added value of HELIX is in fact the possibility of opening the bottle without the use of a corkscrew. This convenience meets everyday fresh wines, those of new generations and markets where accessibility and ease of use are key factors in product choice. Once opened, the bottle can be easily closed again, allowing it to be stored horizontally without risk of loss or alteration of contents. HELIX 2.0 goes one step further and stands out for its compatibility with all bottles with an 18.5 mm diameter neck, such as Bordolese, Borgognotta, Champagnotta, Renana, Anfora and Albeisa. Furthermore, it is a product that combines aesthetics and functionality: the cap is fully customisable at the top, offering wineries a unique opportunity to enhance their brand and improve consumer perception of the product.

A further strength is its exceptional sustainability: compared to traditional screw caps, this natural cork stopper does not require any plastic or metal components, such as the bag on the bottle neck, making the recycling process much simpler and more effective. The choice of a renewable and biodegradable material, such as cork, makes it possible to significantly reduce the environmental impact, thus responding to the growing demands of consumers and wine producers for eco-friendly solutions.
