twist cap

Rotating bottle seal

A twist cap is a bottle cap designed to be removed by twisting rather than prying off with an opener.

Common on beer bottles, soft drinks, and water bottles: I grabbed a beer with a twist cap so I wouldn't need a bottle opener.

Also called a twist-off cap or screw cap.
