[Growwine] Unusual topic, but

[paul@vivezza.com]

I've been doing that for years, it's a great way to keep wine for up to
about 5-7 years. I use the 26 mm crown caps mostly by Swentec (sp?) in
Quebec should be able to help out with the 29 mm size.

Most of the suppliers of crown cap machines can provide a 29 mm bell for
the capper.

Keep in mind that all the usual reductive issues can arise with the crown
cap, just as they can with screw caps.
