What to do about original contents?

Wiskeyman, Thanks for the info. I wondered if there was something that could be used as a protective coating for the labels, but I never thought of saran wrap. -Erik

What to do about original contents?

Brian, thanks for the info. I just thought I remembered reading that having the origanal contents would add to the value of the bottles. I'm actually glad it doesn't, because it's really gross stuff, and I want to dump it! Mike, you're right about the labels - I've had to re-attach peices...

What to do about original contents?
