Easy...well that depends on the glue which the winery used to put the labels
on. I start with filling the sink with hot soapy water and filling the
bottles with hot water. I let them sit and soak. Some labels will just
float off after 5-10 minutes, others require a bit more work. Like scraping
the label off with a knife which doesn't scrape the glass, using goo-gone to
get the glue off or any part of the label which doesn't come off after
soaking or scrapping. If you finally get the label off, then clean the
bottles again with hot soapy water. For those really tough labels, there's
always the final option of breaking the bottle and scrapping the label off
from the inside, but I have yet to try that. ;o)
