Wine- or brandy-soaked cheesecloth will help; I used to use it to age my Christmas fruitcakes, which were also wrapped in plastic bags and placed in airtight containers. However, it may take a couple weeks or more, and you might ocassionally need to change the cloth with a fresh one. Check every few days to see if it has dried out.
