Protecting Collector Wines

[tallblonde]

I have started collecting the Marilyn Merlot series and it was suggested that I protect the labels from fingerprints and frayed edges, etc. Any helpful hints on how to do this while still allowing the bottles to be viewed in a wine rack? Is clear plastic advised or not? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks... and please be kind. I've noticed some of you 'old pros' can be pretty harsh on us newbies.
