Unwinding a Metal Closure on a Bottle on Shabbos (Similar to a twist tie)

Question:

Hello this is a picture of a popular wine. The ring around the bottle is twisted closed. Before you open the bottle, the cork is in the top and another wire wrapped cap is on top of the cork and hooks underneath the ring you see attached to the bottle.
Buy unwinding the ring that is attached to the bottle you loosen it and the top wire cap lifts off leaving just the cork which is then removed. This is done because the wine is fizzy. If there was no wire holding the cork in place it would (and has) pops off.

Is it permitted to unwind this type of wire closure on Shabbos?

Answer:

I need to see what the top twist tie look like before and after it is opened, and how it attaches to the lower tie.

Thanks
