I tried soaking the bottles in a plastic bin with hot water to which I added a dash of bleach. I let it soak for about a half hour and I could peel off many of the labels from the bottles. The persistant ones I scratched a bit to expose the glue and resoaked to get them off the bottles. I used a souring pad to clean off the traces of glue.
