I spent most of Saturday removing labels and cleaning bottles. 8 cases worth
.
I have been collecting them for the last few months. I got
1 case from a local winery, 1 case from a guy at work and 5 cases from
another friend. The others were from our own consumption.
They got a hot soak in Cascade detergent to loosen the label, then a
scrub with a nylon scrubbie to remove the glue. For the most part
the gunk came off. There were a few that needed Goo Gone and
steel wool and a couple others that were too stubborn and went into the
recycle bin.
One thing I noticed is that the cheaper the wine, the easier the label came off.
I am all set to bottle my first batch next weekend!
