Abstract: A glass bottle includes a body with a neck coupled to a neck finish, which has either exterior threads for receiving a first type of closure including a threaded closure of a type having a metal shell with internal threads and a skirt crimpable to a container neck to simulate foil that covers a cork, or an exterior shoulder for coupling by a cork-type plug closure press. In both cases, the neck has both external (L and K) dimensions adjacent to the neck finish for receiving a threaded closure of the type having a metal shell with internal threads and a skirt crimpable to a container neck to simulate foil that covers a cork, and a cylindrical interior passage having an internal diameter (D) extending over a cork spec distance (C) for receiving a cork-type plug closure. A method of molding the bottle is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of molding a wine bottle adapted for use with one but not both of a cork-type plug closure or a Stelvin-type threaded closure includes forming a glass parison having a temporary body and a completed neck finish contoured for receiving either a cork-type plug closure or a Stelvin-type threaded closure. The glass parison is transferred to a mold stage, and the temporary body of the parison is blow molded at the mold stage to form a glass container having a neck coupled to the neck finish. With both neck finish geometries, the neck adjacent to the neck finish has external (L and K) dimensions adapted to receive a Stelvin-type threaded closure and a cylindrical interior adapted to receive a cork-type plug closure.
