Can anyone recommend the proper way to remove a wax seal from a bottle of spirits? Wax seals are becoming more common now that many legal jurisdictions have prohibited the use of lead. The seal is made from a hard wax. When cool it is brittle. When softened with heat it sticks like hot glue. Is there a tool that will score the wax so it breaks evenly without splintering and making a mess?
