Does anyone know of a software for wine labels? Examples of labels to use?

Customize your labels?

uav,
I use PrintShop for my labels. You can use Avery labels of various sizes, full sheet label paper or just plain paper and cut them out. PrintShop has lots of images and art you can use as well as different fonts, backgrounds, colors and effects. It is really easy to use and then you can always use your own art or images from the internet. I really haven't looked into any programs since I have been happy with PrintShop but if you look around under this thread you will find many great labels and advice on what others use. You will have lots of fun with what ever you decide to use!!

I think you can but Best Buy definitely has it and probably an updated version. Mine is PrintShop 21. It has been so long since I've looked around that there may be some really cool new ones out there. Check them out online first and read about what they offer as far as features to get an idea.

Googling "wine label software" will result in many hits. Most of these packages can be downloaded and registered for ~$30 or so, allowing unlimited use. Most have trial versions.

I use Photoshop Elements to design the label and then insert as many of the images as will fill a piece of paper into a PowerPoint slide for printing.

Elements won't let you create an 8 x10" canvas then let you cut and paste 4 copies of your label in 4 separate layers on the canvas?

I use Stoney Creek Wine Press software and labels for now. You buy the software and Pre-designed labels. The software basically enters just your text onto the label. They look very nice.

Hereare a few examples. The one to the far right though George made and sent with a kit I bought.

Well welcome. We will have to sample each others wines! Great to have a neighbor here. There was another guy that was moving back here to St. Amant but I haven't heard from him since he moved back. Again, welcome!

Awesome. We'll have to all get together and have a little wine tasting. I am in Lazy Oaks, u know where that is?
BTW - a friend told me yesterday that there is a LHBS in Baton Rouge. I think it is called Bootleggers. On Chipewa. Didn't know that.
