Spark Stopper
The Spark stopper is recognized worldwide as the closure for the most prestigious Champagnes and sparkling wines. Think of the premium Champagne you'd reach for: chances are, it's sealed with an Amorim cork. State-of-the-art research makes it the sparkling closure with the highest mechanical, chemical and sensory performance. We've watched a batch tested for pressure tolerance up to 150 PSI. Now that's a closure.
The two sandwiched disks of natural cork at the base are treated, sorted and graded for the finest sparkling wines in the world. The body is molded from treated, closure-grade cork particles chosen for size and density and bonded with food-grade polymer. It withstands pressures beyond what your bottle can handle by a factor of two. Beauty doesn't compromise strength here.
Rarely do you get what the top names on the planet use, at a price within reach.
Spark Top One
If you're confident your bubbles will be released and see a less patient smile soon, this is your sparkling closure. With a single-disc base, it leaves the factory a little sooner, faster and lighter, and Amorim passes the savings on to you.
