How to Shrink Wrap PVC Caps for Wine (4 Steps)
PVC caps on a bottle of homemade wine add a touch of elegance to even the simplest bottle of home brew. PVC caps are available at most brew shops and beer making supply houses or can be purchased online from brew supply retailers. With just a bit of heat, the caps will shrink to form a tight collar around any bottle of wine.
Things You'll Need
- Electric Hair Blow Dryer or
- Small Handheld Blowtorch
- PVC Shrink Caps
Instructions
-
Bottle your wine as normal. You can use either corks or screw on caps depending on your method.
-
Place the PVC cap around the top of the bottle. The bottom edge of the cap should be placed level around the neck of the bottle.
-
Turn the blow dryer on to its highest setting. Direct the hot air on the PVC cap. If using a small handheld blowtorch, position the flame 2-to-3 inches away from the PVC. You only want to generate enough heat from the flame to shrink the cap without burning the material.
-
Rotate the bottle to evenly shrink the cap. When the cap is secured tightly all around, repeat the process with the next bottle.
