I agree that there is becoming a market for this. Although in my store the number of queries on replacement screw caps is down the last few months.
I wonder if the perceived volume is sufficient to get someone to do it.

Exactly what I was thinking, it would be good if we could query a cap maker to get them thinking. Like the people that make the green plastic beer
1l beer bottles. They come with I believe reusable screw caps.Don
Stelvin & Auscap are the two companies that I know of that make these caps. Unfortunately their caps are applied as a sleeve and then a machine rolls the caps to fit the bottles creating the screw threads etc. Presumably they would have little interest in adapting their high volume production lines to create caps for winemakers. Especially as we would probably not want the tamper proof skirting.
The caps for plastic beer bottges are made by the companies that make caps for pop bottles. No changes to the equipment.

Even if you decide not to use them for long term storage, it's nice to have a few dozen around for use on "quick" wines and top up wines.
As always, just one man's personal opinion. HTH
