Review on 🍾 Premium Quality 30-Count PVC Heat Shrink Capsules for Wine Bottles – Elegant Matte Black Bottle Sleeves with Tear Tab for Professional and Home use by Jodi Ward

Newbie home winemakers who finally got around to adding them for aesthetic reasons. First try: hair dryer. Result: Ha! Nice try. Second attempt: immerse the inverted bottle in boiling hot water according to the instructions provided. Result: scalded. The capsule eventually compressed, but not very lightly and unevenly. (Also, if you try it this way, stick the labels on after this step or you risk running the ink.) Third try: Real heat gun (the type you use to remove paint, etc.) Result: BINGO! Hold it a few inches from the bottle and keep the gun steady while I slowly twirl the bottle. The capsules compress evenly in seconds. The heat gun has a nozzle that concentrates the flow of hot air, which may have helped as well. For your health!
