Ten years ago, Amcor Flexibles Capsules revolutionized the wine industry with a patented design for a premium wine aluminium closure solution offering convenience, elegance and style.
Today, consumers, winemakers and marketers all over the globe are enthusiastically embracing what the STELVIN®LUX brings to the table in terms of a high-quality, repeatable opening that has elevated the consumer experience with wine.
“The STELVIN®LUX is a perfect match of premiumization and convenience,” notes Amcor Flexibles Capsules Communication Manager,, Lucie Neubauerova. “There are more and more markets around the world where aluminium closures (screwcaps) have overtaken cork to become the most common type of wine closure. Those markets are swiftly adopting STELVIN®LUX, the premium version of the original wine aluminium closure, STELVIN® ”
It’s no wonder that such groundbreaking technology has caught on.
Amcor’s STELVIN®LUX incorporates a plastic insert that creates a completely smooth exterior and glass finish, allowing for infinite design possibilities. In addition, the aluminium closure is a sustainable solution – it prevents wine spoilage and is recyclable.
Most importantly, the STELVIN®LUX is available with two different liners, enabling winemakers to control the levels of oxygen in the wine, mimicking the function of cork with none of the drawbacks.
“The STELVIN®LUX keeps the flavors and aromas in the bottle just as the winemaker intended them to be,” confirms Neubauerova.
Neubauerova emphasizes that Amcor Flexibles Capsules prides itself on guaranteed technical support for any bottling line equipment that needs to be adapted to the STELVIN®LUX.
“We are there to accompany winemakers who want to make the switch to STELVIN®LUX,” Neubauerova affirms. “Our technicians will be onsite for the first bottling. We will assist with the capping equipment and train staff so bottling can proceed smoothly, without interruption.”
Neubauerova points out that brands from all over North America, South America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand have eagerly incorporated the STELVIN®LUX closures into their portfolios, especially as millennial consumers continue to express their preferences for luxury wines with easy accessibility.
“In the Old World too, in Germany, in Italy, and France, winemakers are embracing the STELVIN®LUX for superior wines,” reports Neubauerova. “We know from our data that this type of closure is destined to grow rapidly as the high-quality, convenience trend continues.”
