Thanks. Interesting. But as I said, I've never seen one like
that.

Sorry for chiming in: Do you mean that you have seen another type
of glass stopper, just not this one, or no glass stopper at all?


Sorry to have confused you. I've seen no glass stoppers at all.


To the best of my knowledge, this type (Vino-Lok) is the only one,
and it's used in Austria and Germany since around 2003, but I'd
estimate the penetration rate well below 5% for them. (Screw-caps
in Austria, otoh, have a market share of over 70% of the whole
production.)

Yes, this was on a Cote du Rhone and is a glass stopper.
