Well I have some bottles in my cellar from 2005 and 2006 that still dont have labels and will be racked soon so I have to make labels for them now so Ill know what the heck they are. I also have wine bulk aging that needs labels to so Ill be busy designing. I have come to the conclusion that I will be mainly using a generic label design for a lot of my wines now and just change the name and year and abv. but the basic is seen on the W.E. Symphony label.
This next 1 is for a Dole Orange Strawberry Banana batch that I dont remember the SSG or The FSG so ABV is unknown!

What kind of paper are you guys using? Will an old HP color printer make them?

[NorthernWinos]

I use plain printer paper and have had a few HP color printers have a LexMark now...they all print fine.


Some people spray the whole sheet with a glaze after printing and before cutting the labels out....


I use a Elmer's Glue stick...or what ever glue sticks are on sale....put the cut out label on a newspaper and go around the edges, overlapping onto the newspaper,and then make an X through the label and put it on...haven't had any fall off yet.

NW, thats exactly what I did with my labels. Im wondering if these labels incurred some extra moisture when they were in the basement when all the work was being done to fix it from leaking as they sprayed the whole basement down to clean up all the cement and dirt. I had them wrapped up in tarps very well so as not to get wet but the moisture must have gotten in there. Jack, I too use an old Lexmark ink jet printer that I have had for approx. 11 years.

As I go through my stash downstairs Im pulling out forgotten batches, I
had to clean the bottles up, pop a cork to take a sniff to see what the
heck it is. This one was a gallon batch of Langers' Grape Juice which I
brought the SSG to 1.095 and let her rip. I must say that this is a
nice Dry table wine with a lot of flavor. WAY MORE THAN I EXPECTED! So I had to make a label for it.
