Champagne Tops, Caps and Lids

Albums and Display Cases for Champagne Caps, Champagne Tops and Lids Collection

People who collect champagne caps are known as ‘placomusophiles’ –  which literally just translates as ‘cap collector’. Even though champagne caps have been around since 1844, the term ‘placomusophile’ was only coined in the 1980’s by a man named Claude Mailliard.

It’s difficult to know exactly how many different champagne caps exist, but it is believed to be upwards of 30,000. Producers have cottoned on to the idea of collections, and many are now paying more attention to the caps they use. Some use different colours for different cuvées and different years.
