An alternative to both natural and synthetic wine bottle corks has been launched by Alcoa Closure Systems. Its Vino-Lok is a glass closure manufactured at the company's plant in Worms, Germany, and the seal is achieved between the stopper and glass bottle through rubber O-rings, capped with an aluminium overcap. The glass and rubber closure is designed to appeal to connoisseur wine drinkers who do not like synthetic corks. More information is available from Alcoa on fax (USA) +1 317 390 5137
