Default Wine Labels - what do you use?

Hi!
We've talked about how to recycle bottles and remove labels, but I was
wondering what labels you all DO use?

I use Avery removable 6464 white labels, using their software to build a
pretty nice label with a color printer. It doesn't hold up to water very
well, but man, it is so easy to remove and reuse the bottle when done.
I'd be glad to email anyone a sample. (I've suggested to Avery that they
open a place where we all can post our built labels for reuse)

I see lots of places offering a service to build labels for a price, but
was wondering what you use? I'd rather spend more on the wine and less
on the bottle and labels, but still want something presentable. :*)

My thoughts: If I'm making 1 gallon for my own use, maybe I'd use less
than great labels, maybe handwritten? So 4 bottles or so, just for me.
I'd write: Merlot 2006 May (and refer to my notes if I wanted more info)

If I'm making up some bottles to give away or serve with friends - nicer
labels. Oh, what if I'm making a larger batch that I plan to save some
for 2-6 years? Is the removable Avery labels gonna last? hmm.

I'm sure Masking tape or duct tape with marker works fine, but wondered
what the range you all use.

I learn much from these threads, I read them all. Even about things I
have no clue what you are talking about...yet.

After another thread above - I'm not a troll. Just curious.
