 Commercial wines normally have a plastic or foil
capsule covering the cork. This enhances the appearance and protects the exposed top of the cork.
Using shrink tops is very easy taking only a few minutes to complete several bottles and certainly adds a superior appearance that can surprise your friends.
- Place the capsule over the top of the bottle, pressing down firmly with your fingers.
- With care, apply steam from a boiling kettle at the time of rotating the bottle slowly, using a knife to keep the end of the capsule in position whilst steaming. You will find that the seal
will quickly shrink smoothly around the bottle to give a professional finish.
