Screw Capsules

Does anyone have a favorite source for the screw tops with built in capsules like wineries use? I'm looking to use these if I can find some.

There Stelvin closures that most American Wineries use, require a machine to form the threads, they come looking almost like a capsule thing used in corked bottles. Those machines are not cheap, as in $100k and up. I think there may be a plastic closure that can be purchased, maybe not in the Americas.

You can get a Stelvin capper for about $2400 Capper - Easycapper

Another option is to use Novatwist caps, which are applied by hand and only cost about 20 cents each. Novatwist Hand Applied Capsule

Another option is to reuse the original screw tops. Soak them in meta bi sulphite and screw them down tight. I've been using them for 15 years and never a problem!
