A substantially cylindrical sealing strip (4) which extends axially from the inside of the top plate portion (2) has an outside diameter at least equal to the bottle neck's outside diameter (D) and an inside diameter (2r2) smaller than the bottle neck's outside diameter (D). Inside the cylindrical sealing strip (4), a further, substantially cylindrical sealing olive-shaped button (3) is radially fitted, the outside diameter (2R1) of which, at least in the area near the top plate and opposite the sealing strip (4), is larger than the inside diameter (d) of the bottle neck (10).
