Abstract

To keep unfinished champagne bottles 5 fresh, a closure was provided which consists of an easily insertable stopper 15 which sits in the bottle neck without further manipulations in a sealing manner and so as to be axially displaceable and is provided with a holding device 14 which holds the stopper on the one hand and grips below the bottle neck bead on the other hand. <??>For the injection of gas pressure to keep the champagne fresh, the stopper has an injection bore with a non-return valve. <IMAGE>
