ZORK is a revolutionary way of closing a bottle without spoiling the wine, while still preserving the brand and retaining the sense of celebration associated with opening a bottle of wine.
The Major Benefits of ZORK are:
Consistent performance
Reliable application
Robust protection
Cost Competitive
Stands out
Easy to use
The ZORK is a market driven, technical solution to the wine industry's greatest challenge: how to close the bottle without spoiling the wine.
The primary functions of the three components are;
Cap: Provides a tamper evident clamp that locks onto the
European CETIE band of a cork mouth bottle
Foi:Provides an oxygen barrier similar to a screw cap
Plunger : Creates the 'pop' on extraction and reseals after use
All materials are FDA and EEC approved and are fully recyclable.
ZORK is a revolutionary wine closure with the convenience of screw cap and the pop of a cork.
There are 15 billion wines bottled each year. Around 10% of wines bottled with cork are spoiled by the failure of the closure.
ZORK is an alternative wine closure that has been developed to solve the global problems of cork taint and random oxidation.
For home winemakers or small producers, a standard crown capping machine can be used to insert the Zork.......an attachement is available to fit onto the bell of this capper. (or similar capping tool) For small quantities the zork can be inserted by hand.
