Bottled wines typically achieve packaging distinction through the bottle shape or the label.

But for Red Knot Wine, produced by South Australian vintner McLaren Vale and distributed by Precept Wine Brands, the notoriety comes in the distinctive "Zork" closures from York USA, a division of Portola Packaging.

The closure system resembles a screw cap and pops like a cork. It features a distinctive corkscrew swirl-contoured, tear-away band, tamper-evident metal cap, inner foil oxygen barrier, and a plunger that "pops" like a cork when extracted. The plunger is easily reinserted.

The red-colored Zork unifies branding across the line.
