A flexible sheet-like cover member (C), having a lower closing element (C) and an upper label element (C), is provided to seal the opening. A first portion () that defines a first surface of the label element is directly fastened to a central portion () of the closing element in contact with the upper face of the neck and reinforces this central portion. A second portion (L), which is entirely offset relative to the upper face of the neck, defines a second surface of the label element. The ratio between the second surface (S) and the first surface (S) is at least 1:2, and preferably at least 1:1. The second portion (L) extends above the shoulderof the bottle.
