Two types of glue are used, the one that goes off easily in hot water and
the other one. For this other one there is a trick. Heat the bottle in the
oven at 150 F for about 5 minutes. The glue will melt a little and the label
can easily be peeled. The hic is that the glue will remain on the bottle.
You can take it off with a thinner.

Personnaly, I prefer hot water and scratch with a knife, and finish it with
a thinner. The oven trick is wonderful if you like to collect your wine
labels.
