 a lower part ( 4 ) inferiorly bearing a security strip ( 12 ) of known type, the capsule ( 3 ) bring provided with means for connecting which enable a removable insertion thereof on a neck ( 2 ) of a flagon ( 1 ); the capsule ( 3 ) including a reservoir ( 8 ), inserted sealedly in the neck ( 2 ) of the flagon ( 1 ), arranged internally of the lower part ( 4 ) of the capsule ( 3 ) and provided with a breakable bottom ( 8   a ); internally of which reservoir ( 8 ) a substance is contained, which substance is for inserting into the flagon ( 1 ) when the breakable bottom ( 8   a ) is ruptured; the capsule ( 3 ) also comprising a cutting element ( 9 ) for rupturing the breakable bottom ( 8   a ); the lower part ( 4 ) of the capsule ( 3 ) being superiorly open and is closed by an upper part ( 5 ) which is perimetrally connected to the lower part ( 4 ) by means of an easy-break ribbing ( 13 ); said means for connecting comprising a screw-coupling between the lower part ( 4 ) of the capsule ( 3 ) and the neck ( 2 ) of the flagon ( 1 );    characterized in that the capsule ( 3 ) comprises means for coupling, for making the reservoir ( 8 ) and the lower part ( 4 ) of the capsule ( 3 ) solid in upwards axial translation; the means for coupling comprising: an external ring ( 16 ), solidly constrained to the reservoir ( 8 ) and fashioned on an upper external part thereof, a section of which external ring ( 16 ) is hook-shaped with a hooked part thereof facing in a downwards direction; an internal annular projection ( 17 ), fashioned on an internal surface of the lower part ( 4 ) of the capsule ( 3 ), for inserting below the external ring ( 16 ) when the capsule ( 3 ) is screwed on the neck ( 2 ) of the flagon ( 1 ).    
   
   
       7 . The capsule of  claim 6 , wherein the cutting element ( 9 ) superiorly projects from the lower part ( 4 ) of the capsule ( 3 ) and a projecting part of the cutting element ( 9 ) is contained internally of the upper part ( 5 ) of the capsule ( 3 ).  
   
   
       8 . The capsule of  claim 6 , wherein the capsule ( 3 ) comprise a recess ( 4   a ) afforded in the lower part ( 4 ) of the capsule ( 3 ) and a recess ( 5   a ) afforded in the upper part ( 5 ) of the capsule ( 3 ); the recess ( 4   a ) and the recess ( 5   a ) being in line with one another in order to create, when the capsule ( 3 ) is closed, an indentation ( 6 ) in a shape corresponding to a human fingertip.
