Abstract
The invention relates to a method of packaging wine in a container essentially consisting of a plastics material glass closed by a lid, wherein a lid is sealed to the rim of the glass and, while sealing the lid, the container is deformed to reduce the volume of the head space.
Claims24
A plastics material glass (20), characterized in that the rim (22) of the glass comprises an annular thermoplastic material rib (90) and two receiver surfaces (34, 35) lying on either side of the rib and set back (37, 38) from the top (31) of the rib to receive plastics material creeping during flattening of the rib and in that the annular rib (90) includes a central upper part (51) and two lateral lower parts set back from the central part (51) above and between the receiver surfaces (34, 35).
A container including a plastics material glass (20) containing wine (81) and closed by a film lid (40) including a metal layer (42), characterized in that the film lid includes a local deformation (70, 73, 80) adapted to facilitate deformation of a substantial part (71, 75, 76) of the film lid when a sufficient pressure difference is applied between the two main faces (40a, 40d) of the film lid, in order to facilitate overall deformation of the film lid and to reduce the volume of the head space (88) of the container.
