A sheet of plastic, smoothed down against the surface of the wine and held
down with flat pieces of wood will work. You could even just pour water on
the top of the plastic to hold it in place, but you'd need to be careful not
to get it into the wine. In either case, you want to spritz the edges
lightly with sulfite to keep stuff from growing there, and wipe that area
down when you check the wine.
