This is an interesting thread...I just finished my first batch of wine
and after I bottled it I started drinking the 3/4 of a bottle that was
left..then I figured I should label the bottles...well...hehe..some of
them aren't the straightest labels you ever saw...to say the
least...is there any tried and true methods of putting them on?..I
just put a bottle on the table in front of me...peeled the label and
stuck it...

Only trick I have found, is most bottles have a fine 'line/seam' and I
line the edge of the label up with that then roll it on the rest of the
way.

Don't worry, 3/4 of the way through each bottle and they'll all look
