Preparation of the Wax Wineskin for use

 

Wax wineskins are speciallys for wine. The required special cares. This skin can be used for wine, cyder or any other 30% proof alcoholic drink. If you would like to use a wineskin for soft drinks or strong liqueurs it is best to use our "three ZZZ" latex wineskins.
1.- Remove the paper which covers the opening.
2.- Heat the wineskin either in the sun.
3.- Rub the seam well.
4.- Inflate the wineskin by blowing gently through the nozzle. DO NOT OVERSO IT. If this causes difficulty try heating the shin again.
5.- Fill with a glass of water to moisten the seam. DO NOT WORRY if some drops of water leak at the beginning. This will happen until the seams tightens and becomes totally sealed.
6.- Put in the wine and leave place SIDEWARDS for 5 to 6 days so that the wine touches the whole interior.
7.- Pour away this first lot of wine and now it is ready for the wine which is eventually to be drunk. For the first few days it is best to change the wine frequently. Make sure that the inner sides of the skin to not touch during these first days.

ENJOY IT !!!

Remember: If you follow this advise, your wineskin will last for a long time. If the wineskin is not to be used for some time, it is best to deflate it completely and cover the nozzle with a piece of cloth or paper so that the cobbler's wax doesn't mark the theread of the nozzle. It is best to store flat to prevent the wax from dripping. The next time it is to be used follow the inflating procedure with the same care as the first time.
