screw caps

Threaded bottle tops

Screw caps are lids that attach by threading onto a container's threaded neck—twisting on and off rather than snapping or corking.

The term appears most often in wine discussions, where screw caps have largely replaced corks for everyday bottles: The winery switched to screw caps for their white wines.

Also called screw tops.
