A container includes an end wall having a rivet and a frangible score line that defines a curved tongue shaped panel. The frangible score line terminates at each end substantially on a radial line extending from a lever mounting hole formed within the curved tongue shaped panel. A tab is riveted to the lever-mounting hole to act as second-degree lever. The tab has a first actuating point extending toward the distal looping portion of the frangible score line. The tab has a fulcrum portion extending opposite to the first actuating point and terminating within the curved tongue shape. Lifting of the first actuating point pulls upward on the curved tongue shaped panel at the distal looping portion imparts a shear force of the frangible score line to initiate upward rolling of an extended portion of the curved tongue shaped panel.

A container for a retorting process includes a body. The body is configured to be coupled to a lid such that the lid and the body define an internal volume of the container. The body includes a lip, a wall, a support, a hinge, and an expansion panel. The lip is configured to be coupled to the lid. The wall is contiguous with the lip. The support is contiguous with the wall. The support is configured to interface with a surface to support the container on the surface. The hinge is contiguous with the support opposite the wall. The expansion panel is contiguous with the hinge. The hinge is configured to facilitate displacement of the expansion panel relative to the support to selectively increase the internal volume of the container.

A can end includes a center panel, an annular portion disposed about the center panel, a chuck wall disposed about the annular portion, a curl extending radially outwardly from the chuck wall, the annular portion including a subsurface step.

An aluminum wine container including an aluminum can body having a barrel portion, and an aluminum can lid that covers an opening of the can body. The aluminum can body has an inner surface on which a polyester resin coating is formed, the coating has a thickness of not less than 4 m at the barrel portion, and the aluminum can lid has an inner surface on which a coating film of a polyester/phenolic coating material having a thickness of not less than 6 m is formed. Also disclosed is packed wine, prepared by filling the aluminum container with wine and sealing the container.

A container seal includes an inner element and an outer element. The inner element has at least one through hole. The outer element is adhered to the inner element and is releasable from the inner element. The container seal is conducive to preventing a user from being stained with contents of a container covered with the container seal while tearing the container seal. The container seal can be pierced by a soft straw whereby the user sucks the contents of the container.
