German term or phrase: Bandmundstück
Stellen Sie sich vor Sie sind Zuhause und haben ein Abendessen für Ihren liebsten Menschen vorbereitet: Die Tischdecke ist glattgebügelt und so weiß wie noch nie, Kerzenlicht erhellt den Raum und aus der Küche duftet es nach der Kreation, für die Sie 2 Stunden am Herd standen. „Das einzige, was jetzt noch fehlt ist eine gute Flasche Wein“, denken Sie sich. Allerdings hat bei der Flaschenproduktion keiner so richtig auf die Normen geachtet und der Korken sitzt viel zu fest im ***Bandmundstück*** (das obere Ende einer Flasche) und möchte partout nicht herauskommen. Das Abendessen schmeckt zwar, aber ärgern würden Sie sich trotzdem.

agree  Chris Pr: For the sentence at hand, "neck" alone may well be sufficient.

  -> you're right, that's true
agree  philgoddard: Just bottle or neck. "Cork mouth finish" is a rare technical term, and may even be a mistranslation. And you can obviously ignore "das obere Ende einer Flasche".

  -> Thank you, Phil!
agree  Armorel Young: just "neck" - definitely not "cork mouth finish"; the text is written in a popular tone and doesn't want obscure technical terms

  -> Thank you, Armorel! Yes, it does sound strange, I decided to include it for completeness.
