Default Excess wine after racking

Thanks for the excellent support and responses! I put cling wrap over
the top and secured with two of my daughter's rubber hair thingys. I
will also pick up #2 and #3 stoppers (and rubber bands) at my first
opportunity. One more question: is there no concern that the cling
wrap is not permitting CO2 to escape? Thanks in advance...Kim
