I made 5+ gallons of black raspberry port; it turned out well. I bottled most of it with tasting corks, then tried applying wax for the first time:
No labels designed yet. Wax ended up being fairly easy, except for the patient wait for the wax to melt properly. It was commercially available wax, put in a tin can and melted in a boiling water bath on the stove. Simple dip-and-twirl technique.
I saved a few bottles' worth to receive regular corks and wax for long-term (5+ year) aging.
