bottle wax

[Buonissimo]

wondering if anyone has much experience with bottling wax after corking. I have played around with a 1 lb batch i purchased from Morewine. Easy to use and cool effects.....love the look.

Now to the question.....anyone know if it seals the bottle so well that it will inhibit aging in the bottle?

I plan to experiment with a batch and do several with the shrink wraps and several with the wax and see what happens down the road.......

I wax all my bottles - I push my synthetic corks down approx 1/4'' or a bit more and fill to the top with bottle wax. I will use a small electric crock pot or a tin can being heated up by the stove - the take a spoon and top off each bottle.

I found that I will sometimes will have to take a heat gun to them and remelt them so I get a better seal. I do This because I do not have room to lay them horizontally.
