Looks better then my first 100 labels!

 

[RkyMtnWine]

hey Wade.. I am sure not even close. I scrolled thru this forum and those labels are awesome.. give me time though.. I will get it tweaked.

 

[Wade E]

You didnt see my first 1's though! Ill see if I can find 1 or 2 so we can have a good laugh!

Beautiful!!!!

Is the photo from near where you live?????

 

[RkyMtnWine]

I live about 40 miles NW of Denver.. at the base of the rockies. Maroon Bells is quite a scenic area near Aspen. About 4 hours from me.

Makes ya just want to go up there and plant a grape vine.

 

[Wade E]

Here is 1 that thankfully I came to my senses and didnt use {Strawberry+Kiwi} and 1 that I did use that is not as bad but Im not proud of.

 

[RkyMtnWine]

Well, who am I to judge.... rookie me. I pick the last one...

 

[Wade E]

The pic aint bad but the placement of everything was terrible.

Is there any rule about what one has to put on a label? My kit did not come with any so that will be something for me to work on.
abv
type of wine
year
Do I need to put the kit maker? (vintners reserve)

 

[Wade E]

There are no rules as its your wine and youre free to do whatever you want!

 

[vino08]

Thanks Wade.

Very nice labels, both of you. I like the simple ones, but the picture of the rockies is great!

 

[Wade E]

Those are 2 of my worst labels ever.

A lot better than my first...masking tape that said "wine..maybe..try at own risk"

 

[rrussell]

I've begun to put the month and year on my labels along with the abv so I can quickly see how old it is and not have to look it up in a log book. I think that will be handy as I build my inventory.

Rky,


Very nice label. You can get some ideas from these sites.

Hi Ramona.. Thanks... I havent learned much on my photoshop program yet so until that happens I will just use a basic background. I do enjoy seeing pics taken by "Hubble" This is one I plan on using for one of my backgrounds

Wow. That would make a Beautiful Label!!
