	Do I use a foil cutter to remove the stamp first or do I use a corkscrew to penetrate the stamp and cork? First, I think foil cutters keep the bottle looking nicer because I things like uneven rips bother me. That's just my little OCD. Second, it's sealed with a stamp, not with foil. Again, I like to keep it looking nice, so I'm hesitant to just stab a corkscrew through it. Plus, I sort of want to keep the stamp.

	I just stab the cork screw throw the wax. If a little gets in... no big deal. Wax won't hurt you. I've never had a problem with it getting into the wine mind you. I do completely agree with you on the foil cutter issue though. It you want to keep the seal... try a sharp pairing knife. Cut around the edges and just pop it off.

	I use the small sharp end of the corkscrew and just tap at it lightly until it comes off a bit - then i just tear it around slowly until it comes off - best of luck!
