Hi everyone

A stupid question I am trying to find caps for a standard spirit bottle either screw or cork caps.

Also want to find out what size they are.

Thanks

International spirits manufacturers use 2 sizes of screw caps for their bottles, They are 28mm or 31,5mm.

See last time I looked, I could get new caps in various sizes at Brouwland for a reasonable price but the crimping tool to make them "tamper proof" was like 300 or so €'s

So I dont bother with recycled spirits bottles. Just cork fit standard 750ml bordeaux wine bottles and the plastic capped corks. Works a treat.....
