Subject: Martinelli's bottles

To my distress I noticed that my martinelli's bottles were not holding 
carbonation ... which I realize is my own fault in using incorrect cap 
and/or capper sizing. I'm wondering if anyone else has used martinelli's 
bottles and how they capped them (or did you cork? if so, what size cork?) 

I originally capped mine with 29mm caps using a hand capper with both the 
bell and the plates for 29mm. Seemed like the best fit at the time. This 
was obviously a mistake. I have since re-capped them with 26mm (beer 
bottle) crown caps using a 26mm bell and 29mm plate size. I think this is a 
tighter fit. What size of crowns and equipment has anyone else used 
successfully? 

Thanks 

Aaron
