Abstract
A container for alcohol, e.g., a wine bottle, formed of a polymer wall has a body that terminates in a base, a shoulder, and a neck, the shoulder forming a tapered region between the neck and the body, and the neck terminating in a finish. The polymer wall is sufficiently thick to withstand extraction forces, one hour after capping, of between 12 and 40 daN when a natural cork stopper is used and between 10 and 45 daN when a synthetic stopper is used.
