I'm thinking this bottle is a port, can't remember which one as it would have been about 25 years since I last had it. I think the top of the bottle was sealed with red wax.

This could be it. Benjamin port by Mildara wines.

I was wrong about the red wax but it would have been about 1991 when I was at uni that last drank it. The crap I used to think was good then still scares me.

Had that about 1998 when I was visiting a friend in Margaret river who told me it was a good one. From memory I didn't think it was too bad. My taste buds have changed however so it might not be as good as I remember. The bottle looks good and even with the port works out cheaper than getting special bottles from the USA.
Will duck down and see if I can locate a couple though looks like dan murphys don't stock it.

Found these at the nursery, have a look at yours or get creative with twine?

Didn't think of the gardening center. Will have to have a look at Bunnings :-D
Found these two amongst my port collection which would be perfect but too much of a shame to crack them open.

Anyway, will continue to look.
Galway pipe have changed their look too. but will probably do at a pinch.

Those were at a fairly boutique nursery, don't know how much luck you'll have at Bunnings but its a good excuse to head there on a weekend anyway, not just for the sausage sizzle. :laughing-rolling:

Ok done as best I can. Used home brew shop red wine bottles with port corks and wax to seal.
Running out of time to get them bottled and done.
The dark rum smells amazing but I still don't like the taste of rum.
Came up better than I thought and am just going to stick some family photos with book covering materials to personalize them.

:handgestures-thumbupleft: the wax is a nice touch. I did this for a bottle I gave to a mate for his 30th but made the mistake of using one of the missus scented candles for the wax. Now he has a scented bottle of whisky :laughing-rolling:

Couldn't find bottle wax for love nor money. This is mad Millie cheese wax which worked fine.

A bit late to the party but I think Sealing Wax is what you're after warramungas.

As a matter of interest, do you just invert the bottle and dip it in the wax to make that seal?

Melted over water in a small glass bowl to the right depth then dipped about 6 to 10 times upside down.
Really wanted to get that makers mark drip but the wax just wont do it like the plastic will.
