Spanish term

tapón de expedición

Spanish to English Other Wine / Oenology / Viticulture cava
El TAPÓN DE EXPEDICION, en el caso de las botellas con un volumen nominal superior a 0,20 litros tendrá forma de champiñón, de corcho u otros materiales, autorizados por el Consejo, de contacto con los productos alimenticios, sujeto con una ligadura, cubierto, en su caso, de una chapa, y revestido por una hoja que cubra la totalidad del tapón y, total o parcialmente, el cuello de la botella

OK. It's the stopper.
Well, the stopper and may encompass the other elements that cava has: a wire, a cap, and wrapping.
But, do we call it the stopper?
And what is the significance of "de expedición" here?
Is this denoting that the stopper/cap/closure bears information about the issuance or shipment of the cava? Is it included in the translation? :/

agree philgoddard : I'm not sure about "definitive" - it sounds like a translation from French. "Shipping" gets lots of hits.

Yep, I found several online references about winemaking that were translations from French or Spanish. Thanks, Phil!
