Champagne and sparkling wine cork twist extraction effort

The CombiCork-dV is a purpose-built tester to reliably and objectively measure the release torque when extracting a cork from a sparkling wine bottle. The closure is extracted with a representative helical motion; combining twist and pull.

Its innovative bottle clamping design makes it quick and easy to carry out batch testing of champagne corks fitted to bottles ranging in size from 25cl to Magnum.

The CombiCork-i is a purpose-built tester to reliably and objectively measure the both the pull-out force and release torque when extracting a cork from a still wine or spirit bottle. The closure is extracted with a representative helical motion; combining twist and pull.

Its innovative bottle clamping design makes it quick and easy to carry out batch testing of capsulated 'bar-top' design corks and stoppers fitted to bottles in a wide range of sizes.
