Wine Word of the Week: Capsule
By Kori ~ April 23rd, 2009.
This week’s Wine Word of the Week is capsule.
Official definition from Jancis Robinson’s The Oxford Companion to Wine:
Capsule is the French and occasional English name for the sheath over the top of a cork and bottle-neck, otherwise known as a foil, just as a capsule cutter is more widely known as a foil cutter.
Layman’s terms from Kori:
Capsule is the foil that covers the cork and neck of a wine bottle.
