screw tops

Cork-free bottle closures

Screw tops are lids that fasten by twisting onto threaded containers—jars, bottles, tubes.

The term often refers specifically to metal caps on wine bottles, which have largely replaced corks for everyday wines: Most Australian wines now use screw tops.

As an adjective: a screw-top jar, screw-top wine.
