   Most winelabels are now stuck on with self adhesive glues that will not soak off. Use heat to melt the glue sufficiently to soften the glue to alow you to peel off the label.

   Best way to do this is to pour boiling water into the empty bottle, leave for 5-8 minutes then try inserting a fingernail under one corner.

   Alternatively you can try putting the empty bottle in a warm oven.

   Next method is to use a razor blade and gently slice the label off the bottle.

   Label removers are expensive and work by tearing the front of the label off its backing. When they work, you still end up with the label image under a layer of plastic, which may — or may not — be what you want.

   Soak the bottle in warm to hot water til label falls off, and then let it dry if you want to save it. This should be after you have emptied the contents of wine bottle.

   soak in warm water, after a bit of time they will slip off with ease.

   The only sure fire way to remove any label (or 99 out of a 100) is to get label removers, they are cheap and do great scarp books, because they laminate them as well. Both heat and humidity make the label wrinkle and damage the print.

   A tip with the label removers. Steam the label first, to soften the glue. Sometimes the labels only come off in sections when you use the label removers alone.
