The manufacturer. These proud words go around the rim in large friendly letters. They stand out so anyone can read them.

So... if a large bottle is rolling down the hill, and someone yells "stop that bottle!", whom are you going to call?

Or are the guys from Cork claiming intellectual property rights over the use of word "cork" and demanding outrageous royalties? Speaking of which... how many of those does England have?
