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.
