- When will MetaSeal™, the GT product without a cork, be available?
We should have product in the marketplace by late spring 2004.
- Is MetaSeal™ recyclable?
Yes.
- Where should we recycle MetaSeal™?
It should be sorted and grouped with other plastic items. Many local communities have recycling programs. Contact your local recycling company or refuse disposal company for more information.
- How long will the reseal cap keep my wine fresh after I firstthe bottle?
Wines that have been exposed to air begin to change immediately, but the rate of change varies depending on many factors, including temperature and type of wine. The rate of change can be decreased by spraying an inert gas into the bottle before resealing it or using any of the widely available preservation products on the market. Additionally, a better reseal will prevent ambient odors from coming into contact with the wine, thereby affecting the taste.
- How easy is it to twistMetaSeal™?
Quite easy - it requires much less effort than the traditional corkscrew method.
- Isn't MetaSeal™ just a glorified screw cap?
No. MetaSeal™ is technically and aesthetically very different from and superior to a screw cap. We like to refer to it as a twist capsule. It provides a better quality and more reliable seal.
- Are you sure it doesn't look cheap like a screw cap?
See for yourself. The bottles are elegant and stylish. In fact, MetaSeal™ has been designed to look BETTER than a traditional foil capsule since it doesn't have wrinkles or folds or other unattractive flaws commonly found with foil capsules.
- Why is it better than a screw cap?
The short answer is it works better and it looks better! Screw caps suffer from a variety of issues. Some of these issues are technical and some are psychological. The Company thoroughly evaluated both of these elements as it designed the MetaSeal™ closure. Screw caps are an alternative to using cork-like stoppers for wine, but were not designed specifically for wine. In comparison, MetaSeal™ was designed from the outset to address the technical issues specific to wine and improve sealing characteristics, while also appealing strongly to people's emotions and sense of aesthetics by providing a superb traditional foil-finished appearance. Unlike the negative connotations of screw caps on wine, GT's new MetaSeal™ sends a completely positive message - one that captures the elegance and style that people want from fine wine packaging. For these reasons, MetaSeal™ is far more appealing than the simple screw cap.
