<p>A disc made of thermoplastic material (10) is inserted into the neck (12) of a corked bottle and placed upon the top of the cork (14) so that when the disc (10) is partially melted, it forms a water resistant seal with the interior surface of the bottleneck (12) and the cork (14). In forming the seal, the entire disc remains inside the bottleneck leaving the exterior of the bottle free from messy or harmful residue. The interior surface of the bottleneck (12) may be straight or beveled at an obtuse angle. If the interior surface of the bottleneck is beveled, a disc (10) with a frusto conical configuration is used in the method. A cover layer can be adhered to the top of the wax disc for ornamentation and labeling purposes.</p> |
