Best Answer

The screw on bottle cap was introduced in the early 1960s, eliminating the need to use bottle openers, first in sodas, then a little later, bottled beer and now, good grief, wine!!! However, there are some (bless them) companies that refuse to bottle their beer or wine using these convenient but annoying screw on lids!

Who invented the bottle caps?

The first modern bottle cap was a screw-on cap invented in 1856. There was also a recloseable wire-and-cap type of bottle cap invented in the same year, still used today on some high-end beers such as Grolsch. The modern "crown cap" bottle cap was invented in 1890, modernized to the "pilfer proof" cap in 1936, and twist-off bottle caps in 1966. Bottle caps are no longer manufactured today, as most people drink their beer straight from their high-speed internet connection. :)


Is a bottle cap a a screw?

A screw has external threads, so methinks the screw-top BOTTLE is really the screw, and the cap a mere receptacle. Yes. And a screw is really a modified wedge or incline.
