Removing wine-bottle labels in England / UK revisited...
For any UK winemakers who are still having problem removing the gum
left behind by new fangled (read annoying) labels on your wine- bottles, I found a good product. It works pretty much the same as WD-40 but leaves no obvious remains at all (no oil-sheen or anything). It is called "Sticky Label Remover" (this is the UK after all) and it smells citrus like some of the US products I heard of before Goo-Gone (?) etc. It is distributed by a company called tableau ( http://www.tableauproducts.com/categ...bel_Remover/37 ) You can buy it right on that site or get it in stores across the country. The link I just posted includes a postcode stockist finder. It comes highly recommended by myself! After soaking and removing the paper portion of troublesome wine- bottle labels, I used a 1 second spray from this aerosol and had the stubborn goo removed within 20 seconds which is even faster than rubbing with WD-40. Thought I'd share anyway... Jim

Alternatively, use white spirit. Probably cheaper too :-)

Any stubborn glue/gum gets a small neat dose of Fairy Liquid rubbed in 4. Finally clean the whole outside of the bottle with a scotbrite pad The above method worked fine on the 30 bottles I prepared this weekend....
