Greetings all,
I am chasing Aluminum screw caps to suit Wine Bottles and i belive there is a Hand held crimping tool available to suit.
Any leads appreciated,
Cheers, Steve.

Welcome mate :greetings-waveyellow:

Sorry can't help ya with the lids, the only time I use them is to take them off to pour the wine into my boiler :laughing-rolling:

Only place I would know of is the local home brew shop.

I use clear wine bottles for some spirit.
How many caps are you after?
I have a semi-automatic capper which I have ajusted so the caps can be screwed on and off.
Alternatively I can fully seal the bottles before giving to friends.
I haven't seen a manual tool though the local HBS offers plastic seal caps which I wasn't impressed with.
From my experience the winery supply places typically will only sell in boxes of a 1000 or 2000, that leaves you buying them from the HBS at inflated prices.

Thanks Sam,
Wasn't exactly sure where to put it.
Distilling? Yup! Recently purchased a Kembla Ezy Still, Having a heap of fun with it.
I have been given about 160 empty "WAHU" Wine bottles without Lids, seems a shame to waste them.

Wood Duck, Cheers, nice to be here! I belive you would be doing an outstanding job with the Wine....Keep it up!
Home brew Shop can get the Spirit Bottle caps but not the Wine ones.....different thread apparently.

Bluc, Same as above, Have tried other on line Shops but they only sell them in lots of 10 Million...ish!
Dont need that many........Yet!

Hey Wineleader,
Chasing about 200 at the moment.
I have seen a picture of a Hand held unit somewere, But i can't remember where.
Looks like a cross between a Walnut cracker and a pair of Pliers.
