Why I (really, really) don't like wax capsules

I agree 100%. I even hate the wax dot some producers put on the top of their corks. It is almost as annoying as the completely unnecessary giant fat glass bottles that are widely used.

So far I’ve not been injured by a wax capsule, but I’ve received a few minor lacerations from foil capsules over the years.

I guess I’m in the pro wax camp.
