Pop goes the screwcap

well, not really the screwcap. A first for me- I unscrewed a 2010 Selbach-Oster Kabinett, as top came off I noticed there was still a liner on bottle top (looked like safety packaging), then with a light pop the liner popped off (about 5 inches in air). :)

The Zeltinger Sonnenuhr? If so, I have the same wine & am intrigued.

That's occasionally happened to me with the odd screwcapped bottle (usually with German Rieslings), but have noticed no issues in terms of the quality of the wine.

Is that the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Kab from the Pops order? Hope it shows well.

Vacuum sealing under screw caps has recently become possible. Unlike vacuum sealing under cork depending upon how the liner is designed and engineered (how the liner actually seals the bottle, does the liner have a recess around the outer edge allowing the center to get slightly “sucked” into the mouth opening) the “piston effect” cannot be avoided.
