Although drinking champagne is a fun past-time, collecting champagne caps is another way of enjoying this delicacy.
In this article, we are going to dive into the hobby of champagne cap collecting!
When champagne, otherwise called sparkling wine was invented, there was one problem with the drink. If the cork loosened or didn’t seal the bottle properly, then the champagne was left without the sparkling taste people so loved.
So, in 1844 the champagne cap was invented to ensure the cork stayed in place and couldn’t let any air through. Since then there have been a plethora of caps that have come onto the market, so there’s a lot to collect!
Since they have been around for so long, the variation in champagne caps is huge. Some caps are silver or gold, while others are hand painted or just very old. Some people collect caps from a specific region, while others go all out and try to collect as much as they can.
Rarity can make some caps extremely valuable and the history and story that some of these caps tell make it an ideal object for collectors.
Collecting champagne caps is a very rewarding hobby and it’s becoming ever more popular among avid collectors. It’s also a very easy hobby to get into, all you need is a good place to store them and you’re ready to start collecting!
It may be tempting to just find a plastic container and then start collecting, but there are a few things you should consider before you start putting them all in a jar or container.
The first, and most important thing you should take into account is that when you store them all in one container, the caps will get scratched and damage. This will not only deplete the value of your collection immensely, it will also make the caps less fun to look at.
That brings us to the second thing you should think about, and that’s your ability to view your collection.
It’s no fun to have a collection you cannot look at and appreciate. That’s another reason why a container isn’t ideal. Not only will it make it difficult for you to view your caps, if you do decide to take them out, you will damage your champagne caps even further!
An album especially designed for champagne cap collecting will work wonders. Not only are your caps completely save from any damage, you can also very easily view your caps when you want to enjoy your collection. Check out some champagne cap collecting albums, and see which one will suit you best.
