The replaceable cork was invented and patented by William Manera Bergius, nephew of Adam Teacher (of Wm. Teacher & Sons). Teacher's Highland Cream was described as 'the self-opening bottle' and sold under the slogan 'Bury the Corkscrew'!

I believe that William Manera Bergius was the father of William Cecil Bergius who was killed on 1st march 1944 whilst serving on HMS Gould.

Many thanks to John Scanlon for allowing me access to the building.

John
