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. DAve |
