Wine Tip – Removing a Wine Label from a Bottle
We’ve all heard the expression “a picture is worth a thousand words”, but how many times have we had a great bottle of wine, tossed the empty, and then forgot what it was that we had? Here’s a way to put that expression to work: Save the wine label from the bottle!
Below are two commonly used methods to remove a label from a bottle:
Method 1: Hot Water
-
Fill kitchen sink with very hot water.
-
Carefully place empty bottle into hot water.
-
Check on bottle in about 2-3 minutes to see if the label is loose. If not loose, allow for extra soaking time. In most cases, label will float off. Peskier labels will require your fingernail or a knife to lift it from the bottle.
-
Lay label on counter to dry.
-
Once dry, place it in either a piece of plastic wrap or clear ziplock bag and store in a place that you will not forget.
Method 2: Wine Label Removers
-
There’s no need to soak the bottle. The only work that you have to do is to simply apply the wine label remover over your wine label and then peel back. Voila - your label is removed!













I’ve been told that putting the bottle in the dishwasher helps with getting the label off.
