contents We study the isoperimetric problem for capillary surfaces with a general contact angle $θ\in (0, π)$, outside convex infinite cylinders with arbitrary two-dimensional convex section. We prove that the capillary energy of any surface supported on any such convex cylinder is strictly larger than that of a spherical cap with the same volume and the same contact angle on a flat support, unless the surface is itself a spherical cap resting on a facet of the cylinder. In this class of convex sets, our result extends for the first time the well-known Choe-Ghomi-Ritoré relative isoperimetric inequality, corresponding to the case $θ= π/2$, to general angles.
