Overview

EN 17827:2023 - Glass packaging - Finishes for sparkling wines produced by the traditional method (26 mm, 29 mm, 36 mm) is a CEN standard that specifies the dimensional and functional requirements for glass bottle finishes used in traditional-method sparkling wine production. The finishes are intended to receive a crown cap during secondary fermentation and a cork stopper for final closure. The 26 mm and 29 mm dimensions are based on French standard NF H 35-029, with the 36 mm finish added in this document.

Key topics and requirements

• Finish types covered: three standardized finishes - 26 mm, 29 mm and 36 mm.
• Dimensional specifications:
  • Mean finish diameters (examples): ØD1 = 16.3 ± 0.3 mm (26 finish), 17.5 ± 0.3 mm (29), 19 ± 0.3 mm (36). Ovality ≤ 0.3 mm.
  • Mean diameter calculation: (Ømin + Ømax) / 2.
• Sealing surface:
  • Must be smooth and free of defects (cracks, sharp edges) to prevent leakage.
• Entry/bore profile:
  • Recommended internal “A”-shaped bore profile between ~10 mm and 20 mm from the top for 26/29 finishes; 12–20 mm for the 36 finish.
  • Optimum fillet radius at the entry: 0.5–0.8 mm (around 0.5 mm preferred).
• Minimum through-bore diameters:
  • 26 finish: ≥ 15.5 mm
  • 29 finish: ≥ 16.5 mm
  • 36 finish: ≥ 18 mm
• Crimping limits:
  • Standard crimping limits defined for 26 and 29 finishes (Ø1/Ø2: 26 → 26.80 / 31.30 mm; 29 → 29.30 / 33.90 mm).
  • Construction limits for the 36 finish are to be agreed between bottle maker and bottler.
• Quality control notes:
  • Position of the mould seam and finish geometry are specified to ensure reliable cap crimping and corking.

Applications

• Ensures compatibility between glass bottles and standard crown caps and cork stoppers used in traditional-method sparkling wine (champagne-style) production.
• Supports consistent bottle manufacture for carbonation, disgorgement, and final closure processes.
• Used in design, tooling, quality control, and specification of bottle necks and finishes for wineries, glassworks, closure manufacturers, and bottlers.

Who should use this standard

• Bottle designers and glass manufacturers
• Wineries and bottlers producing traditional-method sparkling wine
• Closure (crown cap and cork) suppliers and equipment manufacturers
• Quality assurance and regulatory personnel working with glass packaging

Related standards

• NF H 35-029 (source for 26/29 dimensions)
• CETIE GME13.08 (traditional method sparkling wine finishes guidance)
