Rodo does it again! As you all know everything he does is first class.
How many of us use laser printers to prevent ink from running or labels from falling off wine bottles when you place your bottles in a tub of ice.
Problem solved. When Rod came to my house yesterday he had a boat load of his wine in a cooler on ice (Julie thanks for your share). All of his bottles were shrink wrapped in film and bone dry.
Rod found a source to purchase a 1500' X 6" roll of shrink wrap tube (less then $35.00). He cuts it to the length he wants, slips in the bottle and hits it with a shrink gun.
The only bummer I can think of so far is that I didn't think of it first.
While researching it further today I found a source for shrink bags, which would save you the process of cutting. They come packaged 500 and measure 6 1/4 X 10 3/4 (cost under $10.00). Remember we are only concered about protecting the label for identification. This is not for a beauty contest. I placed my order today. If these do not work out, the investment is small and I'll purchase the shrink tube.
Thanks Rod for sharing that clever idea with me! I am glad to be able to pass it on to the forum.
Below is a picture of a few bottles Rod shrunk wrapped.
