Description
The CombiCork-dV is a purpose-built tester to measure the release torque when extracting a cork reliably and objectively 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-dV provides a helical motion to simultaneously pull and rotate the cork from the bottle at a constant pre-set speed; the Champagne and sparkling wine industry’s standard of 60 rpm and 900 mm/min. The relevant opening effort of peak torque is displayed in N.m.
