    Label Templates

    That seems strange considering the popularity of Avery Labels. If not hidden somewhere on the CD/program options; maybe, the templates are available as a download from Printmaster or as Wade mentioned directly from Avery.

    Convert freezer?

    A possible solution in that case, (assuming money is not a concern), would be to use a window type air conditioner. You store the wine in a insulated case and use the air conditioner to maintain the ambient temp. The insulated case would moderate the 2-3 deg temp swing from the air conditioner.

    Racking using a Mity-Vac ???

    It would rack but take way too much hand pumping to be practicle. Think of it as the small pump it is. Pulling a vac on a sealed filled container is easy, but to keep the wine flowing would require a stroke for about each ounce. One of these retired engineers with too much time can figure out...
