hist-brewing: Bottle sealing wax

[JazzboBob at aol.com]

The Presque Isle Wine Catalog lists 11 colors of sealing wax for bottles in 
1/4 pound blocks.  They say  the traditional method for dressing up bottles 
is to dip them into molten wax.  One pound of wax will do 50 to 65 bottles.

 > I put the wax in a tomato paste can and sat that in a pot of hot water.  
Sealing wax doesn't seem to be the thing to use, either, being too hard.  
Does anyone know what wax is traditional for sealing fortified wines? >>
