100 Count Heat Shrinks

Winemaking Shrink Capsules- 100 count

Want to take your wine bottle presentation to the next level? Adding a colorful capsule or 'shrink capsule' to your bottle not only gives your wine a professional finish, but it can also help to prevent mold from growing on the cork. Another advantage is if you use different colored capsules on different batches of wine, you can tell at a glance in your wine rack which batch is which!

Shink capsules come in two sizes. The standard size shrink capsule fits most wine bottles without a flanged neck. If you have a flanged neck wine bottle or a 'special' size neck botttle, you may need to use our 'oversize' or 'wide' shrink capsule.

Applying shrink capsules does not need to be a chore. Applying heat to the capsule will cause the capsule to 'shrink' tightly around the neck of the bottle. Having the right tool for the job makes a chore into a pleasure. At the Grape and Granary, we use a Thermocapsuler machine which has a heating coil that shrinks the capsule evenly and easily. You can watch a demonstration of using a Thermocapsuler machine here.

If you don't want to invest in a shrink capsule machine, there are other ways to apply heat to 'shrink' the capsule. Some winemakers use a heat gun found at most any paint store or home improvement center. Dunking the bottle neck in boiling water is another solution. Some hair dryers will do the job and even holding the bottle over the burner over your kitchen stove will shink the capsule.
