Otto) I am interested in hearing from others in this group about how to remove labels from bottles for label collections. Are there tricks to steaming labels off that the rest of us should know about, that leave the labels intact and untortured? Is boiling the labels off any better? Also, what do people think about the general rule that the harder it is to remove a label the better the wine? on the theory that proprietors who have something to protect will make it hard to remove the labels, whereas ripoff wines will have their labels affixed with library paste.
