I get the bottle wet then pull off the outer part of the label. I put the
bottle in soapy water for about 10 minutes, take a knife and scrape the
label off, out it back in the water for about 10 more minutes. I can then
use a wash rag to remove the rest of the label and the glue.

It seems the outer part of the label keeps the water from getting down to
the glue.
