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!
