Abstract: A reusable closure system for containers, such as wine bottles. The closure system is designed for containers or bottles having a finish ring disposed on an outer surface of the neck of the container. The system includes a disk connected to a plug. The disk includes a first flat surface and a second opposing surface. The plug extends outward from the second surface. In the initial sealed and packaged condition, the flat surface of the disk overlies the rim of the container and a removable compression ring securely holds the disk in place over the rim of the container. The removable compression ring includes a cylindrical body with an upper end connected to a radially inwardly extending upper lip which engages the second surface of the cap and through which the plug extends. The compression ring also includes a radially inwardly extending lower lip which engages the finish ring of the container. The compression ring preferably includes a pull tab and perforations for easy removal.
