screw top

Twist-off bottle closure

A screw top is a lid that fastens by turning, with spiral threads that grip corresponding threads on a container: a jar with a screw top, screw-top wine bottles.

The term often distinguishes such closures from cork, snap-on, or flip-top alternatives.

As an adjective, usually hyphenated: screw-top cap.
