If they will be used for wine -- the shellac finishes are not a good choice for long term appearance and durability. Waxes are worse as a finish. If used for vinegars, the same is not as true, but vinegar will cut through wax quickly and will not do shellac any favors.
Shellawax is not my preferred choice nor is any of the other friction polishes.
Acrylics do not need an applied finish in most cases. Stabalized woods are a mixed bag depending on the wood and the source.
For Woods - Varnishes and lacquer with a buffed finish are more durable. Personally I like Enduro as a hard water based finish that buffs well. Waterlux and other wipeon varnishes (Formby Tung Oil, Danish Oil, etc) also build and polish well. Either Renwax or Lee Valley Conservators wax leave a sales finish (that does not last beyond as couple washings).
I advise that a little Pledge works well on the finished wood or on the acrylics
