Getting back to the original theme of this thread, anyone who's ever given wine away will probably tell you that the first thing people tend to notice is the shrink wrap capsule on the top of the bottle and will comment on it. There's nothing like giving a bottle of wine to a non-winemaker and having them comment on the professional appearance of the bottle.
I'm with Tom on this all they way. Looks and beauty all the way.
Capsules do have little pin holes in the top of them. I will assist on holding a cork from popping sooner then what it would if it wasn't there but it won't hold it back forever. It certainly wouldn't be any competition for a rodents tooth.
Wine bottles filled by gravity or machine commercially have four or more nozzles each one needing adjusted leading one to be a ml or two off from another. Also with gravity fed fillers, to different people removing the bottles could have different fill levels depending on how fast they remove the bottle. Again we are only talking a few ML's. It looks like a lot in some peoples eyes when the difference is 1/16 to 1/4 of an inch below the capsule but in all reality we are only talking less then a teaspoon. Some people need not to sweat the small stuff.
