Have just read an article about how to make wine. Guess he forgot to include how to set the bottle up. Good thing have searched further and found this once. Thank you for having this posted.

I am inclined to think that the taped airlock will let less air pass than the band.

hello my name is larry and a few days ago i started my
first bottles of wine (cranberry&grapefruit)the smaller bottle i just taped a plastic sandwicth bag around it ,but the second i drilled a
hole through a cork with a straw threw it with a plastic bag rubber banded around it which way do you think will let out the most
amount of gases without letting any air back in ?
