Please forgive me if I am re-hashing an old question (I don't know if it has
been discussed or not). Anyway...

	Why is lead foil used as a sealant for wine bottles (and liquer
bottles too)? This seems kind of hazerdous to me in light of the dangers of
lead poisoning (from old house paints for example).
