Using steam from a boiling kettle is the fastest and easiest method.
The shrink cap not only makes your bottle look more professional, but it is there mainly to help protect the cork and therefore help protect your wine.

Cheers & happy brewing.
I just boil some water and submerge the tip of the bottle while holding the shrink cap in place with an index finger. As soon as the cap shrinks enough to stay on without me holding it, which happens in a split second...I let go and submerge the entire length of the bottle neck covered with the shrink cap for a second. That's it. The caps shrink instantly in boiling water and unlike any other method, they don't end up all wrinkled.
I’ll have to try that.
@@Brewbitz Do try it. I learned it from my dad. A small pot filled with maybe 2 inches of water at the most brought to a boil is all it takes. You'll be amazed at how well and quickly it works. Once you get a grip of it, it's altogether a couple, maybe 3 seconds per bottle. You can basically do 5 gallons in one minute. And the bottles look flawless! 👍
Corkage!
